More often than not, the devil is in the dosage.
I'm not saying that eating a shitload of sugar isn't bad. IT IS. But it's equally as bad as eating a shitload of anything else.
Our bodies need balance. From a pure weight loss standpoint, calories are the only thing that matters. That's all I've been trying to say there. From a long-term standpoint of "general health", calories aren't the ONLY thing that matters, although they remain a good part of it. We need minerals and vitamins and fats and proteins and cholesterols and sugars; we just need them in the right amount.
If you aren't taking in more calories than you are burning, and you aren't overeating on one specific thing, you are VERY likely not to be fat and have good markers of health, insofar as they can be controlled by your diet and not any specific genetic abnormalities you may possess.
Demonizing food groups is bad.
