I am, for sure, addicted to sugar. Ever since I was a kid, i used to eat sprinkles straight from the container.

I just had a McFlurry an hour ago.

I dispute the idea that sugar is unhealthy.

Natural sugar intake from regular Whole Foods is ok. Refined sugar is for brothers.

You mean refined white sugar, right? Not natural sugars like those found in fruit or similar sources?

The problem with sugar is not that it is inherently unhealthy but that it doesnt provide health benefits. Its a missed opportunity. 

And you can easily eat too much of it, which leads to overweight, which leads to ton of health benefits. 

So basically a naturally skinny person eating a ton of veggies and healthy foods can also eat ice cream every day and be close to optimal health.

Yes sugar is great 😊

Sugar is only great after taking weed, when sober its boring.

The refined one definitely is. Which is the one that people eat the most and is produced en masse
