This is even on the site you're already on - I notice on here a lot of people ask for proof, then dismiss it as false. I suspect you're less likely do to this on this site.

LOL. The MyFitnessPal blog is one of the worst, most unreliable resources ever. It's no better than Dr. Oz or the articles on the cover of a woman's magazine.
Sugar only makes you gain weight if it causes you to consume more calories than you expend. You gain weight via a caloric surplus, period. There's no food which otherwise magically causes weight gain.
Ok. So I post an article, you just say it's fake. You post no proof at all, and I'm supposed to believe you?
I get it. I guess people on MFP just value post count over legitimate proof. You could try this search engine called "Google" and find many articles about sugar and that it can greatly slow down weight loss.

Not so much as a weight loss secret, more so as a replacement for a calorie filled drink. I like dark chocolate chai tea, it has a nice dark flavour to replace an afternoon coffee, but the chai sweetens it. (no added milk or sugar)4

I'll stop commenting on this since this is obviously a sore point for so many people.
I fail to see what logging has to do with food being good or bad unless you are suggesting that sugar is making people forget to log it.
You really have to spell things out around here, don't you?
Many studies indicate the sugar can hinder weight loss.
Sugar is empty calories, and I am under firm belief the original poster can find a tea they won't need to add sugar to. In comparison to one they need to add sugar to, it's going to be the healthier option - which is what this entire thread is about.

Bolded #1: No, they don't.
Bolded #2: No, it's not. Sugar is a carb. Carbs provide quick energy, which is very helpful when performing intense workouts. I keep Sour Patch Kids in my gym bag. Losing weight just fine. Why? Because I stick to a caloric deficit.
So you didn't read the article. It's like arguing with a brick.
No wonder I was told these forums are unfriendly. You make one comment that someone disagrees with, despite posting evidence, and they just continue to stick their fingers in their ears.
Post actual evidence rather than a blog. That will help.12 -

I read the article. It discusses the undesirability of "excess sugar", and in the final paragraph it says (exact quote): "If you’re trying to lose weight, a little sugar in your morning coffee or the occasional indulgence for a special occasion may be fine."
Your supporting article doesn't say what you seem to think it does, unless you think a little sugar in your morning coffee can be OK, but if you put it in your tea it's pure evil. The blog article says pretty much what most people here are saying: Sugar in one's tea is fine, within calorie goal, if it's a personal priority for pleasure.
Of course, an all sugar diet would be a Bad Plan - or even an "excess sugar" diet, to use the blog article's terms - because balanced nutrition is important. Context and dosage matter, whether it's sugar, broccoli, roast chicken, or anything else.

Why not?
Sugar can be detrimental to weight loss; and a lot of sugar replacements can be just as bad.
Sugar has 16 calories per teaspoon, so roughly 50 extra calories if you like your tea extra sweet. That's like half an apple's worth. I don't really see how that would be detrimental to weight loss if the calories are accounted for.
They are empty calories. At least the apple is giving you other vitamins & nutrients you need. There are also several studies on sugar making you more hungry.
Then again, there's a lot of weight loss "science" out there that contradicts each other, so to each their own.
They're not really empty. They have carbs. Carbs = fuel. By that reasoning, oil is empty calories too, and is higher in calories to boot. Even then, that has no bearing on weight loss.
What type of oil are you referring too?
Any pure oil really.
That's the nutrients in 900 calories of olive oil.12 -

That was exactly my point. If we're going purely by nutrition, no one would be using oil. They would be getting their fat elsewhere. People use oil for the same reasons they use sugar: it makes things taste good.17 -

Having fun yet :-) As far as I can tell tea does not aid in weight loss, I drink passion fruit ice tea daily, I make a large pitcher and add sugar, I just add half of the sugar it calls for, 4 teaspoons instead of 8 to 64 oz. I account for this small amount of sugar and would rather have sugar then artificial sweetener as they make me feel odd. If it keeps you off the high calories sugar drinks I say enjoy tea, just account for it. BTW... I don't drink the whole pitcher every day.3 -

I can try Google and find many articles about how the pyramids in Egypt were built by reptile aliens. "I can find it on Google" is a terrible standard for judging whether or not something is factual.15
