Sugar does give a little energy boost. And the rugrats will use the highly available energy
You’re just repeating something scientifically false. Eating sugar absolutely does NOT “give you an energy boost.” What a smug advertisement of the fact that you’ve never taken a biochemistry course AND are so unobservant that you haven’t noticed sugar consumption is, if anything, more likely to make you feel drowsy than “energy boosted.”
Fucking unbelievable. The smug wrongness of people blows my mind.
Let’s talk this out. Not the biochemistry aspect, but the smuggery.
Was their post smug? Yes. Factually incorrect? Also yes - I’m a microbiologist, I took my share of biochem courses.
Your response was equally smug as well as condescending. Their comment was wrong but innocent in its intent. Yours, conversely, intended to disparage their comment and them as a person.
What do you intend to gain here? Not with the correction - that is valid, but it’s entirely possible to correct without being smug, condescending, and denigrating. What do you think that adds to the conversation that a simple, polite correction would lack?
