Understanding Sugar Consumption

The impact of sugar on health is nuanced, challenging the belief that all sugar is harmful. Naturally occurring sugars in fruits and dairy are not the same as added sugars found in processed foods. Research indicates that diets high in added sugars are linked to diseases such as cardiovascular issues and diabetes, while consuming fruit is associated with health benefits. Moderation in sugar consumption, rather than total elimination, is encouraged for a balanced diet.
