For me there's a serious reason to cut down on added sugar: I have a family history of type 2 diabetes and a diet high in sugar will increase my chances of getting the disease.
Rosemary Stanton, a public health nutritionist, advises me to avoid anything with ingredients my grandma wouldn't recognise. She emphasizes the importance of considering the health benefits of foods.
Stanton suggests people should aim to eat the least amount of sugar that is sustainable for them. Less doesn't mean none, and it shouldn't be used as an excuse whenever you come across something sweet.
If the only way a person can eat oatmeal is with a spoonful of sugar they should, because there's so much goodness in the rolled oats. Loving food should not be punitive.
