Not notable, unencyclopedic, and original research. A google search for "sugarphobia" returns 11 hits, none of which appear to offer any type of scientific or psychological definition, certainly nothing similar to the content of this article. The article should be deleted. - Jersyko 03:33, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The term has been used rhetorically by a couple of doctors to make a point. Pseudoscientific. Not an appropriate Wikipedia article, IMO. Sunray 05:37, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
- Delete. Three words: No original research. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 07:20, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Soapbox, originial reserach. --Angr/comhrá 09:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This term seems to have some kind of link with the Atkins' diet, if someone can find out more maybe this article can be salvaged. If it really is bull then delete. Jamyskis 15:45, May 12, 2005 (CET)

- Delete. Mis-spelled vomiting. Also, phobias are usually based completely on the latin name (see arachnophobia, triskaidekaphobia, agoraphobia), this would be sucraphobia anyway. -- BDAbramson thimk 20:01, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
- Actually phobia names like arachnophobia, triskaidekaphobia, agoraphobia, are derived from Greek, not Latin. So even if there were such a thing as a morbid fear of sugar it would be saccharophobia. --Angr/comhrá 05:35, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
