I always like the expression “balanced diet.”
Fanatics who want to ban one kind of food or change it should take a look at the big picture.
The present “wellness” mentality with its anti-obesity fanaticism doesn’t see the big picture. It just wants to ban things.
That's a reasonable way of thinking, as long as you are eating FOOD. Refined sugar is not a food. it has no nutritional value at all. You are best to elimiate it from your diet completely. It truly is a sweet poison. It's ok to have some once in a while, like a pop once in a week or less often, a candy bar. If you must have sweets, eat sweet foods like fruits, or stuff sweetened with fructose.
