So leather shoelaces are a health food? By your definition of food that provides energy to humans, you’re arguing they are. They have caloric value.

I'm not convinced leather shoelaces can be digested. If they could, I don't believe their conversion from shoelace to energy would be very good.
CICO is too shallow/naive to be a useful paradigm, as your shoelace example highlights.
Sugar can easily be turned into energy.
Haha fine, pick something else. The point is about energy/caloric value. Sawdust has caloric value. The point is you’re saying that a health food is something that provides energy to humans. That’s wildly fantastical.
Sawdust cannot be easily turned into energy by the human body.
I regard food sawdust, called plant pulp and cellulose in the food industry, as a type of low cost food additive that actually interfere's with nature's nutritional bounty, of which sugar is one.

Haha table sugar has zero nutritional value if you’re going to make that argument. But that’s a neat Google article you found there.
Correct. Sugar has zero nutritional value and is technically a drug; which is why it can be peddled by corporations. I cut it out of my life almost completely and have had nothing but benefited. My girlfriend followed suit and has had the same results. I have a long list of friends that have followed my diet which is devoid of most all sugars and their health has improved drastically.
Some people can critically think and understand stuff. Like Bitcoin. Others just have an agenda and an axe to grind.
