A member asked:
Need to know is too much natural sugar bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are no proteins, essential fats, vitamins or minerals in sugar… just pure energy. When people eat up to 10-20% of calories as sugar (or more), this can become a major problem and contribute to nutrient deficiencies.
