Absolutely. However, it is important to note that there are a very large number of obese people who don't eat sugar.
So sugar, while deservedly notorious, is far from the only highly significant factor, yet it sometimes receives 100% of the blame.
One of the several problems with that is that, due to popular perception, many will swear off sugar and yet still be unable to drop to a healthy weight.
- tim333 11y agoAlthough a good percentage of those eat white carbs like bread and potatoes that easily convert to sugar in the body. Those on the salads without bread/chips tend to do quite well weight wise.
- DougMerritt 11y agoYes, and that's part of my point: too many emphasize the evils of sugar, where it is far more to the point to warn against all high glycemic index foods. The rest of my point is something like: people too often oversimplify complex subjects, which can be actively harmful.
