    According to the WHO stuff I've read, added sugars is simply a convenience. There is no dietary need outside of calories for carbs, the western diet tends incorporate too many calories and focusing on added sugar is a simple target to these excess calories without becoming knowledgable about all the ins and out of nutrition.

    This is barely coherent. Not that it matters, but please let me edit for readability now that I'm on a computer.

    Sugar is clearly evil. Just like fat was...salt...saturated fat...carbs...

    Right now, sugar is most definitely evil.
