Cut out/reduce your sugar intake if you want to lose weight, avoid diabetes/cancer, reduce cavities and retain your brain cells. Natural sugars found in fruits and vegetables are good. Processed food containing refined sugar may be detrimental to your health. Junk food may be cheap but in the long run it may well be a lot more expensive than fresh food.
Drinking water is a lot healthier than drinking soft drinks or fruit juices. One glass of water contains zero teaspoons of sugar. One can of coke contains 9 teaspoons of sugar. One can of lemonade contains 8 teaspoons of sugar. Fruit juices contain 4 to 5 teaspoons of sugar the same amount roughly found in a standard drink of alcohol.
