This is only the part of the story many fruits, honey and such like whichbare recommended universally as part of a healthy/balanced diet, can have very high sugar contents, The total amount of sugar consumed or the percentage of daily calorie intake as sugar is possibly just if not more important.
One can have a teaspoon of sugar (close to 100% sugar) in a cup of tea for ones whole life. With a nutritous balanced diet and exercise this teaspoon of sugar will have no ill effects. If one has a high sugar diet and consumes predominantly high sugar foods then this does become a problem.
It is not necessarily the consumption of sugar’s which is the issue as humans have been consuming sugar in food since the beginning of time. The issue is loading of mainly procesed foods with sugar (added sugar in one of its many forms) whereby sugar become a significant percentage/dominates of the calories of foods eaten.
