Sugar consumption and obesity has been the subject of intense scrutiny for years. The results of study after study are surprisingly consistent. Every major review of the body of scientific literature exonerates sugar as the explicit cause of any disease, including obesity.
Scapegoats are the rage these days. The need to blame something for society's problems has become more important than the truth! Rather than endorse positive changes in lifestyle to manage weight, it's easier to point a finger at sugar as the reason for obesity. Science, however, doesn't support that view.
Sugar is a basic carbohydrate that every healthy body need for energy. Put another way, sugar is an essential fuel for muscles, internal organs, and first-rate brain function.
The natural sugar you buy at the grocery store has only 15 calories a teaspoon. People gain weight by taking in more calories than they burn over the course of a day. Obesity is the result of eating too much food, especially those with a high caloric content
