>>4902616no, the problem is always the calories
it doesn't matter what form they come in as long as your expenditure/intake is balanced - you don't gain weight
you can stop demonizing sugar now
it's only sin is that it's mildly addictive due to gut flora effects, packs a lot of calories in small package and easy to forget yourself and eat a lot
1000kcal of sugar isn't any better or worse than 1000kcal of protein from weight gain/loss perspective
it's a 1kg of feathers vs 1kg of iron kind of argument
