[aggie49]

if you over do it yes but i only use sugar in hot tea and i don't drink a whole lot of hot tea now my guy uses alot of sugar i buy a 5 lb bag of sugar each month and he uses it but then again he doesn't use salt i think if you keep it in check it should be your decision

I know the body doesn't process it very well,  but the taste buds sure like it,  so it makes the brain happy.

The body uses sugar to make energy so a small amount of sugar is ok.  But like mama used to tell me you can always overdue a good thing so use it in moderation.

All things in moderation. Yes, too much sugar is bad for you. Too much anything is bad for you

Yes, too much sugar is bad for you. I am trying to cut back and not eat so much sugary foods.

I think just about everything is bad for you if you have too much.  I don't really see sugar being any different in that way.  I don't have faith in what the "experts" say as they tend to change their mind so much.

Yes too much is bad.  I'm trying to get away from eating a lot of sugar but a lot of our foods especially packaged foods have lots of sugar so I am trying to get away from eating a lot of packaged and processed foods.  When I drink tea I drink it plain now or I add honey.  Agave is supposed to be a good natural sugar substitute but I haven't tried it yet.

Apparently, it's so bad for us that some people want an age limit for it, like alcohol or tobacco....

Of course it's bad for you.  Everything is bad for you nowadays.  But I say screw them.  If I want to eat sugar-laden foods I should be able to.  I should also deal with the consequences by making sure to exercise and control my own health.
