[quote=Anonymous]Sugar is highly refined white sugar, I presume you’re asking about. It is absorbed by the body. When there is excess that the body doesn’t use right now (it uses very little), it is stored as fat cells. These can live anywhere on the body. Typically when a fat cell is created, it never goes away. Even if it loses its content, the fat cell exists, empty. Insulin spikes in the liver as well when sugar is eaten. It can handle these spikes. But massive and/or frequent spikes, it will slowly not be able to handle. Diabetes or pre-diabetes. It has no vitamins or nutrients. (A little?) not anything compared to what you’d get in other foods. No fiber, no protein or fat. So, comparatively, it is not food to ingest any. Small amounts are manageable. Finally, sugars on the teeth allow bacteria to feed and grow. They feed on your teeth as well. Can be washed away with water or brushed away.[/quote]
