Why is everyone so afraid of sugar?

I actually run into serious trouble when I try and limit my sugar...so I don't worry about it at all. I do try and keep my carbs in check but couldn't really care less about my "sugar" allowance because fruit for breakfast pretty much puts me at my limit at least according to MFP0
-
The problem is there is so much added Sugar in everything we eat. Too much sugar actually causes a fatty liver which can lead to cirrhosis of the liver just as alcohol does.0

Natural sugars are fine .. Everything in moderation!0

Sugar does not cause Diabetes.
Yes, it does.

But what if I don't? Does that make your statement invalid? Or does this problem just lie with you?Unfortunately surplus of sugar does weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to getting sick. I actually never get sick until I eat a lot of sugar in one day...then I almost get sick guaranteed the next!

I no longer track mine. If 3 pieces of fruit a day is going to put me over I'm not willing to listen!
I agree with this completely, it depends where your sugar comes from, i love eating fruit and im not eating cake or chocolate or candy so if i go over my sugar allownace i dont care because i know its from healthy foods!0 -

There are good reasons to limit sugar in the diet, though for people who are exercising a lot, when you get into eliminating nutrituous carbs--whole grains, pasta, fruit, potatoes--that's where it gets extreme. Much of the anti-sugar literature is writing from a cultural perspective and is linking sugar intake to obesity in certain cultures. I think that's fair enough, but when they go so far as to claim "sugar is toxic," it's to sell books, and so even people who are fit and active are brainwashed into believing that they will die early at the hands of 60cals of Gatorade they consume after an hour run, which they should be having anyways to prevent dehydration.0

Sugar isn't doesn't cause diabetes according to the American Diabetes Association. It is however linked to sugary drinks and being overweight.Sugar does not cause Diabetes.
Yes, it does.
http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0057873
A linking or correlation doesn't imply that sugar is the actual cause. Genetics and lifestyle are much higher factors.

I believe it is definately a misconception. It's not the sugar that made/makes us fat, it's the amount of which we take it in. If I ask someone for some kind of advice they say well if you cut this and that then you will lose. Umm nope, well maybe for a bit, but in my case before I started figuring this stuff out a little better I tried it all, and didn't get anywhere long term. I no longer cut anything from my diet, if it fits in my calories and my macros and I want it. I'll have it, and may have it the next day too. Maybe that's just me, but it's working and I'm still losing and a healthy rate.
Try that with finetti every day and you will never loose weight again. The human body does not burn fat between 48-72 hours after eating something in high sugars.
Links? Sources? Proof?
Who needs proof when you have wild claims based on bull****?
Honestly, I always hope they have some kind of blog/article/livestrong.com write up to back them up so I can read it and laugh. Does that make me a bad person?
Some people like comedy movies, people like you factless articles.
Not bad.
I like the way you put this. I always think of it as laughing at other people's gullibility and guilt follows. But you make it sound more like it's just my way of amusing myself, which isn't something to feel guilty about.
And, that said, still waiting for sources on how having high sugar days will stop me from losing weight for 3 days. Cause I may havea graph based on my diary data that shows my stupidly high sugar levels seem to have a slight positive correlation with my weight loss. Don't leave me hanging Flo.

It's all over the internet, if you bothered to read..or ask any nutrition doctor about insulin and hormones.
And it's from my personal experience, no matter what cardio or weight training i will do 2 days after my cheat days, i won't loose weight. Staying at a caloric deficit and meeting your macro nutrients goals is not all that matters if you eat finetti or some other poison.
The main reason for me not eating high sugar processed items is because i have to work 3 days to get back, and my energy levels will go down abruptly after that sugar is out of my system.0 -
I'm STUNNED at the OP's naivety.
It's all over PUB-MED and all medical journals. It's all over nutritional journals, websites, etc. It's all over Youtube -- there must be hundreds of videoed lectures on there by MDs and specialists, dieticians and scientists, all explaining what is wrong with eating sugar. There are dozens of books on the subject as well.
The OP must have her tongue firmly in her cheek, or has just woken up from a 25-year coma!
The MOST important thing to remember about sugar is that YMMV!0 -

You're funny. I'm happily upping my calories (at 1825 now) because losing weight is barely a tertiary concern. I look and feel great, while enjoying my nightly ice cream, scale loss is meaningless. Your predictions of a plateau don't bother me, sorry to say, because I'll always trust science over nonsensical fear mongering.
And I will certainly not be losing my attitude. I imagine my attitude is as much a part of me as your apparent joy in spreading silliness and not even attempting to back up your views with facts or logic.0 -

We've been offtopic for quite a while so...let me share you guys my idea of the human body:
The human body believes it needs things, but if we deprive it for an amount of time, it will stop demanding them, yes i'm talking about craves. While i know it's hard, i started depriving myself of sugar and cigarettes. Little did i know the cigarettes were the easy ones, so i quit smoking 2 years ago. As for the sugar part, i still eat let's say a cheese cake once in 2 weeks. I'm hoping in the future i will give up proccessed sugar altogether, in benefit of potasium, proteins and fruits.0 -
The posts above are really a bit silly. Confusion. Sugars ain't sugars (like the oil advertisement) . What the research is about is added sugar in our diets and most of this either sucrose (cane sugar - a disaccharide of glucose+fructose) or fructose. The independent, non industry funded peer reviewed science says that fructose is strongly addictive, is implicated in a range of metabolic syndrome diseases. Cardiovascular, diabetes, chronic kidney, cancer, fatty liver and dementia. Demonstrated in animal studies. But this research will take years in people and often can't be done due to ethics.(One can't do trials on humans knowing it might cause harm!) So the evidence comes mostly from large reviews where researchers measure what people eat, measure stuff. So the research can be challenged!
Americans have over 15% of their average food as "added sugar." Fine to have 2 or 3 peices of added fruit per day. But a reasonable strategy is cut that added sugar out. Most importantly added fructose affects your appetite.
You might want to listen to this podcast on Australian ABC National Radio. The radiologist got type 1 diabetes & followed conventional carb based program. Looked for alternatives as he was concerned about long term issues.

Happy to send the peer reviewed links of you want to message me.0 -
I avoid it. It makes me sick. Headaches, ringing ears, etc.0
-
I avoid it largely because without it I have more sustained and balanced energy levels without it, I sleep better without it, I manage my food intake better without craving it and because it puts my teeth on edge.
I don't tell other people what to do and don't give two hoots what other people stuff down their gob, but I do think it's a bit patronising when people dismiss personal experience because you haven't bothered to attach two pages of scientific references to your post. :huh:0 -
Hey, everyone has to be afraid of something, right?
Me? I'm afraid of killer clowns from outer space.
Sugar? Not so much.
^ :laugh:0 -
Well... I guess it's because most people nowadays assume that when something taste good, it's probably bad for you0

I believe it is definately a misconception. It's not the sugar that made/makes us fat, it's the amount of which we take it in. If I ask someone for some kind of advice they say well if you cut this and that then you will lose. Umm nope, well maybe for a bit, but in my case before I started figuring this stuff out a little better I tried it all, and didn't get anywhere long term. I no longer cut anything from my diet, if it fits in my calories and my macros and I want it. I'll have it, and may have it the next day too. Maybe that's just me, but it's working and I'm still losing and a healthy rate.

I eat ice cream and cookies every night, I eat sugary cereal, and I eat a fair amount of chocolate. I still lose weight, an maintain an average on 1 pound a week. My experience is just a valid as yours, right?
It won't work forever, just you wait and hit that plateau, and we'll talk then. And in the mean time, i would loose the attitude
Please tell me more about ice cream and plateaus. I'm truly curious as to your experience, as I've never had one of these famed plateaus. Sure, I've eaten at maintenance calories for periods of time, but I have never failed to lose weight for any period of time in a calorie deficit, regardless of ice cream or beer.
I find it interesting that in one post you are promising failure, and in another you're saying that you're just different. Which is it? Are there scientific principles that are applicable to the general population or is everyone so different that science is a waste of time?0
