The Role of Sugar in Healthy Eating

Eating sugar is an integral part of a balanced diet, and it's vital to understand that one meal or snack won't determine overall health. Instead of labeling sugar as 'bad,' it's important to recognize that health is built over time through many eating opportunities. Celebrating special occasions with sweets, like birthday cakes, does not equate to poor health choices. This broader view of nutrition reframes the conversation around sugar, emphasizing the importance of context and moderation rather than fear.
