Sounds to me like there is some personal rationalization going on here: Describing Stella's trial as "bogus" because "sugar is all detrimental" is a front. The front allows you to eat as many chocolate donuts as you want, rather than choosing something healthier (like an apple), because "it's all the same." Often, the only way to continue in a behavior we hate is to attempt to tear down the desired behaviors in other people. Here, Stella's trial is a direct psychological challenge to your own stated sugar addiction, so you reacted with denigration.
