- Sugar is not a neutral snack but a metabolic disruptor that harms health.
- Refined sugar rewires biochemistry and fuels obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

- Calories differ by source; sugar produces hormonal imbalances that alter hunger and metabolism.
- Sugar triggers insulin and leptin resistance, so a calorie from sugar behaves differently than other calories.

- Sugar produces brain effects similar to addictive drugs via dopamine surges and compulsive patterns.
- Processed foods are engineered to drive repetitive consumption and addiction-like behavior.
