Many teenagers, especially girls, belive this to be gospel truth. Weight gain is caused by taking in more calories than our body burns for fuel. Faulty food habits make you fat, not sugar.
In 2002, a three year study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences concluded, "There is no clear and consistent association between increased intakes of added sugars and BMI" BMI(Body Mass Index) is an indicator of body weight and obesity.
The American Diabetes Association advises diabetics that sugar may be included in their diets provided it's counted as part of their daily carbohydrate allowance.
