I can probably summarize without watching -
Sucrose and HFCS are bad because they prevent your body from regulating insulin properly, and stop nutrients of other foods from being absorbed into the body which can (will) ultimately kill you in a lot of different ways.

Aye... even the lengthy metabolic reaction charts were interesting; Following this video would raise probably anyone's lifespan by 15-30 years
but I likes sugar
Glucose and Fiber, man... sweets are not out of the question; highly processed ones, though, you've got to moderate... and discard the soda and juice entirely.
Yeah, as long as you let your body detox itself everyday, you can pretty much eat anything in moderation. It's when you let the toxins accumulate in your body that it becomes a problem.
My guilty pleasure is fast food french fries.
Partially hydrogenated oil and everything!
Except the dead ones... you know, from complications of diabetes, CVD, etc.
I suppose it's important for some people (such as yourself). It's not particularly important for me. If I die, I die. My body is supposed to sustain itself naturally to whatever I put into it. That's life.
No, your body is not supposed to do that at all. Right now I can think of a dozen things that if taken internally would kill you within the hour.
It MATTERS what you put in your body.
Yeah, I wasn't really referring to lethal poisons and such. I was talking about about junk food.
EDIT: And sucrose, which frankly, hasn't killed me so far.
They're both the same thing
Junk food these days has way too much artificial chems for my liking. But you can probably get away with it like once a week ....
Yeah, it's kinda like... why bother saving any money. There are no rainy days. Diabetes and coronaries and aneurisms and liver failure; those are in some far off distant future, after all, and the future can't hurt me. Well.. till it arrives, anyways, at which point I'll probably be making everyone else miserable for never having warned me. Of course, I'll have conveniently forgotten that they were warning me... the whole damn time. Glucose is 75% as sweet as sucrose and not anywhere near as deadly. You can still have sweets without putting toxic ones in you. =3
