> Sugar is good for you Nope! For the general populace the linked article and research clearly points out that this is just not true. Now, of course there are cases when excessive consumption of sugar is beneficial - for example, where someone is malnourished it might be good for one's health. Just like some people need specific medicine to get better, the same medicine being poisonous to others or poisonous in higher concentrations. As for the article being from 2013... the medicine (and science in general) does not get outdated the way some other fields do. Did we get over obesity problems since 2013? Nah, not even close: https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2020/01/06/obesity-charts https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2020/01/06/obesity-c... . Exact opposite is true. > All my fat friends avoid sugar. As they should - yet this is super vague. People "avoid" getting killed in road accidents yet are guilty of speeding in numerous cases. Without proper data on their sugar consumption (which you don't have, and they likely don't have either) you are in no position to say whether the amount they consume is anywhere near "safe".
