Sugar does not make you fat. Fat does not make you fat. Carbohydrates do not make you fat. Protein does not make you fat. Food does not make you fat.

The ONLY thing that makes you fat is eating more calories than you spend during a day.

Want to lose weight? It's easy -- eat less. Add exercise so you lose mostly fat and less muscle, otherwise you'll end up "skinny fat."

Heavily sugared food and drink is the easiest way to massively increase the number of calories you take in per day. It's also the easiest way to decrease it. That's all I'm saying.

I agree with that, I just don't want people here who are trying to be healthier to get the wrong info. It's something I see on a large number of sites I visit, so I try to clarify things like that when I see them. :-)
