Why does dietary fat cause more serious concern than dietary sugar? cant both make you sick or die?

Calories & arteries: Fat has twice the calories compared to the same weight of sugars. Some fats (saturated) can lead to lipid (fat) deposits after a single meal! always best to focus on veggies and protein.
