Sugar != High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Okay so I know that sugar is bad in excess but seriously this is stupid. Technically sugar is more damaging to you than heroin, however the issue is not the sugar, it's our massive over consumption of it.

"Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health '...have re-created the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder in several honeybee hives simply by giving them small doses of a popular pesticide, imidacloprid.' This follows recently-reported studies also linked the disorder to neonicotinoid pesticides. What is really interesting is the link to when the disorder started appearing, 2006. 'That mechanism? High-fructose corn syrup. Many bee-keepers have turned to high-fructose corn syrup to feed their bees, which the researchers say did not imperil bees until U.S. corn began to be sprayed with imidacloprid in 2004-2005. A year later was the first outbreak of Colony Collapse Disorder.'"

I'm pretty sure anyone who didn't know this already on some level is dead already. And if they don't learn it now, they'll die shortly.

Of course manufacturers wouldn't do anything to hurt consumers. It wouldn't be good for business and the invisible hand would make them pay...right?

Not when they get subsidies, subsidies, and subsidies from the Federal Government which prevent free market competition.

Corn syrup is especially bad.

fade has it right... and it's a valuable lesson from the science-based people I listen to on health: The dose makes the poison. You needn't worry about a "toxin" if the dose is small enough, and anything can be toxic in a high enough dose.
