I wonder you would say the same about butter too. That it has been unfairly demonized.
Regarding sugar, a lot of scientific evidence does exist of its harm.See the work of Dr Lustig for instance.
Everything is complex and endlessly so. Then what is one to do? That we must not be unfair to this or that ingredient? But then why obesity and diabetes epidemic?
The key is dose. Everything I’ve read about sugar say it is harmful in large doses.
The underlying problem with obesity and diabetes is most likely just an imbalance in calories consumed versus calories burned. Sitting on the couch and watching TV while eating large meals leads to obesity and obesity leads to type 2 diabetes.
Eating less and exercising more leads to healthy weights and healthy blood sugar levels.
Obesity results whenever a body takes in more calories than it expends. If it were otherwise, it would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Now explaining the reasons why a body takes in many calories becomes more complicated. And the reasons why a body expends fewer calories is also complicated.
You mention good evidence that there are toxins in the food supply. Can you point to some of that evidence?
Great post!

The point is hunger is dysregulated. And why it is so?
Your idea that it is just eating huge meals and sitting on couch is simplistic.
Point in obesity is that body is diverting more calories to storage--by definition of weight gain--in fact that's why the obese eat more.
It is not simply that eat more --> obesity. It can also be obesity ---> eat more,
Americans exercise more than other people. Office workers 50 years ago weren't exercising but were slim.
So there is good deal of evidence that there are toxins in the food supply.
