Sugar does great harm on the body and brain. When I gave up sugars all together..I had more energy and brain fog disappeared. I was sugar free for nearly 2yrs. During this pandemic, out of nervousness I began intaking sweets again. Omg.. so good and comforting..but...the side effects are back! Plus my 6mos check up.. sugar level slightly high, even after fasting.
Take care!!!

@ShadowWorker I don't quite understand what people mean when they say giving up sugar. We need sugar for energy. Do you mean processed sugar? Or even fructose and lactose?

@CrazyMusicLover raw sugar and things that had added sugars are the bad. Fruit and even corn naturally contain sugar...good sugar.

@ShadowWorker I noticed people usually have different levels. The obvious one are all sweets, chocolates, cakes, pastry, sweeteners, sodas etc. that we really don't need and eat only for taste and comfort. Then there's next level when people ban white flour, pasta, white rice, sweet fruits like ripened bananas, plums, figs, sweet corn, carrots etc. which is a significant change in the diet and I wonder if that step is really needed. I understand why a person with diabetes shouldn't eat overly sweet fruits but I don't understand why some people act as if white rice and white flour was poison and the culprit behind every health issue.
