Sugar is unkind to you in so many ways. Ignoring it’s negative impact eventually catches up with most people, some worse than others.

I thought all the fuss about it and carbs was silly and over-stated myself, but my thoughts and feeling didn’t change the consequences. I’ve learned better now but wish I could go back in time and tell myself what was coming so I could change my behavior sooner.

Also not sure what the connection is there. Sugar is bad for you if you’re diabetic, but doesn’t itself directly lead to ill health - the effect is via obesity.
