Sugar is bad in large quantities.
I've concluded personally that it's still probably the best option - a teaspoon here and there, even daily, probably won't do much if it's near or in a meal. You know what you're getting: simple sugars have been part of the human diet for milennia, and we understand their metabolism reasonably well.
People who use the alternatives are making a much riskier bet on the null hypothesis of future research.
