I'm lean and I eat a lot of sugar. Sugar is not a toxin. It's a source of energy. I'll eat some sugar and go to the gym. I'll come back and eat more sugar to replace the glycogen I drained.

What happens to overweight people has NOTHING to do with lean people who exercise.

Sugar is a drug that is addictive and releases dopamine when consumed which is why you feel good when you eat it and have cravings for it.

Sugar doesn't meet the medical criteria to be considered an addictive drug.
