Saw the title, was about to waste at least half an hour giving this my "quote most the article and lose my mind commentating on it" treatment, but it's actually pretty reasonably written. Touché, Global News.
I would still have liked to see them go into more detail on what the term "sugar" means chemically, though. To ensure readers aren't confusing it for straight table sugar, AKA sucrose. That's always a pitfall when terms have both a common language or layperson meaning and a more rigorous scientific meaning.
