Obesity resulting indirectly in death would seem/tend to indict sugar as a poison, then. Hm.

I do appreciate your generally complete and disciplined approaches and courses of thinking, CBM. Conclusion? Cyanide is cumulative like mercury, or non-cumulative, like grain alcohol or carbon dioxide?

SKB could have/should have known and expressed that. Sadly, SKB missed an opportunity to elaborate and shine, and it's supposedly his "professional" area. In a free-ranging open dialogue, IMO, each person should ideally contribute something that successively approaches the full truth, does not go the wrong direction. Or, be "punished" for mischief.

SKB probably ??"agrees" with Frank at TT Evo, also, about "science" being under attack in the USA. Overall, no, I don't think that is the main observable tendency. In the old fashioned sense, of a medium sized primitive yellow dog attacking??/chasing a car, I guess, yes, you could say that the automobile or truck is under attack when a dog snaps at the car's tires on a dusty street in Laredo.
