Interesting perspective, and a valid candidate for worst food, for a lot more reasons than the slave trade (although that’s a good one).

I remember reading an article about two dentists who studied old European paintings, and they could pinpoint the year that sugar hit the European continent, because suddenly the dental problems in painting subjects dramatically increased. It was clear that the introduction of sugar devastated the mouths of Europeans.

And of course there is sugar’s massive contribution to obesity, which is my personal dragon to slay.
