I'm guilty in that I use the sugar content as a proxy for healthy-ness when I'm at the grocery store.

  That's probably a pretty good proxy most of the time.

  That's certainly a much better proxy than fat or sodium, from what I understand. I'm actively trying to cut sugar (and carbohydrates in general, but especially sugar), and have already noticed I feel a lot better. I don't know if it's actually contributing to weight loss, but not feeling completely worn out after eating a big meal is a benefit in and of itself. One thing that makes it difficult is how much sugar is in everything (even in things that you'd think shouldn't need it, like jerky). Pork rinds have been a godsend for properly-carb-free snacking.
