The no-sugar diets are unsurprisingly popular these days in one of their many forms: Atkins diet, paleo, keto, primal, etc: I personally tried Keto for 6 months and lost 30 kilos and plateaued at a normal weight. I felt great and had lots of energy.
I would actually opine that consuming more sugars than, say, a couple pieces of fruit or a loaf of bread every day, is quite toxic.
It's only relatively late in human evolution we obtained access to lots of sugar.
That's not necessarily true. Humans do not need sugars from external sources to survive.
>“The amount of sugar needed by the body is zero as the body can produce and absorb sugar from consumption of other daily food supplements.
