And again, that is a massive overstatement. The definition of poison is:
a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed.
No one is getting sick or dying from a candy bar.

Whether it is good nutrition or not would likely depend on the goal for which you are using it. If you're eating it to get through the last hour of a race, it may be fine. If your eating it for long term health it obviously isn't. But, the occasional candy bar isn't a big deal.

Certainly true, but that's no the same as equating poor nutrition to poison.
