It's the same article. There is absolutely nothing wrong with sugar, if it's consumed in moderation. In fact, eating sugar within recommended amounts, is actually beneficial. Hell, they even hint at it in this paragraph, without actually directly saying so.
<i><b>Sugar is eaten to excess</b>
It has been said that the criteria as to whether a substance (any substance) is harmful or medically beneficial is the quantity in which it is used in the human body. To point to a dramatic illustration: we all know that the venom of a rattlesnake, a cobra, water moccasin, coral, and other venomous snakes is deadly to the human system. There are some snakes whose bite is so deadly it can cause death within a matter of seconds. Nevertheless, even snake venom, deadly as it is, has been used for therapeutic, medical purposes when used in minute quantities. </i>

there is a biiiig difference between 'refined white sugar' and the natural sugars found in say fruits and things.
sugar as a chemically man created thing is not good for you.
eating kiwi as i do everyday of course has sugar in it, but its not REFINED sugar. huge difference.
