While I think much of nutrition science is a waste of time, one thing I do think is true and is only slowly becoming mainstream is that sugar is pretty horribly bad for you. It’s still so common for people to be victims of generations of hysteria about fats (witness the explosion in popularity of air fryers), whereas the whole time particularly older types of fats were not only not the problem, they were vital and healthy. But sugar is a highly artificial, relatively modern food that wreaks real havoc on your body.
