'SICKY SWEET DEBATE'

     Well here we are to another paper. A rogerian argument. I was never on the debate team but those that I knew who were, to say the least were quite adamant about their point of views.

     I am writing my rogerian paper on the same topic as our informative as per requested, sugar. As you all can believe there is some difficulty finding a point of view opposite the harmful effects of the substance.  As I researched this more thoroughly I found a few people who had pessimistic views to the harmful affects. Walter H Glinsmann, MD has several views on the aspects and outcomes of our consumption.

     The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 1986 review "Evaluation of the Health Aspects of Sugars was a comprehensive assessment that formed the basis for the agency's reaffirming sugar as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) , it stated "Other than the contribution to dental caries, there is no conclusive evidence on sugars that demonstrates a hazard to the general public when sugars are consumed at the levels that are now current and in the manner practiced.

     In this paper there are many naysayers to that conclusion.  Several years have passed since then but some points of views have not changed. In this paper I will try to point out the different views and why they feel that way. Dr Glinsmann serves on the national research council.
