    They don't call refined sugar "the white death" for nothing.

    lol. "they" say a lot of silly things, don't they?

    I'm not saying it something I believe firmly. There are too many people that take things on blind faith. I am open to the possibility that someday science will find the cure for cancer is the correct proportion of caffeine, nicotine, whisky , bacon and chocolate.

    I'd be willing to sign up for that study!

    Nicotine = addictive substance not needed by the body.

    Sugar = non addictive substance required by the body.

    You can't quit sugar, you can cut back, not necessary without a medical reason to do so.

    Eating at a calorie deficit is all that is needed to lose weight.

    Dietary sugar is definitely not needed by the body!

    I would say though that it would be tough to eliminate all sugar from your diet, but if you want to cut back on it, by reducing junk food and such foods then fair play to you.
