i think the best idea is always to get the facts, comprehend the information related to it, and then make an actually informed decision.
And by comprehend, I mean - understand it well enough to confidently put it into practical, correct use.0 -

Oh wait.......it isn't.
not wasting my time, thanks for the discussion
There is no evidence in your links. Just a bunch of naturopath nonsense.
Come with peer reviewed studies or don't bother.
this makes me wanna start a blog called peerreviewedstudies.com

Here's a peer-reviewed source on the dangers of sugar.

I haven't cut out all sugar (I still eat a ton of fruit) but I have switched to a very high nutrient diet as a way to help treat my autoimmune disease. I would guess about 60% of my food ( by volume, maybe not calories) is fruits and vegetables and the difference in my health and energy is amazing. I don't really eat added fats and sugars anymore, not because I think they are necessarily bad, but because I'd rather "spend" my calories on something with plenty of micronutrients and some fibre to fill me up.
It seems clear to me that humans have evolved to run on sugar. I wonder if the benefits they saw were due to the increase in fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in their diet, rather than cutting out the body's preferred energy source.
Here's an article about it by Eve Schaub. They didn't go sugar free, they went added sugar free, but as you know saying sugar free sells more books. http://www.everydayhealth.com/columns/my-health-story/year-of-no-sugar-one-family-grand-adventure/
OT: My diet is complicated enough with staying under 2k of sodium per day and sticking to 1600 cals a day. Having to add all the synonyms for sugar to my brain so I can make certain it's not on any ingredient list of my food is too much. Taking away sugar would drive me insane enough to commit murder.

Now read it ... go beyond the headline. It's an opinion piece, not a peer reviewed study.
