Thanks everyone 🙏❤️

Am not a diet proselytizer, but would advise against pontificating considering that a) nutritional science is in its infancy b) dietary authorities got it wrong on sugar for decades & c) there's no one-size-fits-all-solution = makes sense to experiment https://t.co/ai8WyVZTgx

[Dan Smith @DanSmithHolla]
