I did not in fact say that sugar needs to be removed. What I was referring to is the ambiguity of the word “sugar” or “sugars”. When we think of sugars, we think of all types of sugars. The fact is that the only sugars that provide sweetness are things like table sugar, which is sucrose, or fructose, or sugars of that type, which are very simple sugars. They do provide sweetness, but complex sugars like starch do not. Starch is a complex sugar and does not provide any sweetness. The problem is with the language, not what I think is the intent.
