    i do most of those things, and i will also add dont smoke, dont drink, and take estrogen. but you can pry sugar from my cold dead hands. whats the point of living a long time and staying young if you cant even enjoy yourself?

      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.
