Is sugar harmful? How does sugar affect the body?

he occasional candy or cookie can give you a quick burst of energy (or “sugar high”) by raising your blood sugar levels fast. When your levels drop as your cells absorb the sugar, you may feel jittery and anxious (a.k.a. the dreaded “sugar crash”). But if you’re reaching into the candy jar too often, sugar starts to have an effect on your mood beyond that 3 p.m. slump: Studies have linked a high sugar intake to a greater risk of depression in adults. 

It depends ...  

Sugar could be a bless or a curse !! 

For healthy people who do burn calories, it is a blessing 

For others, it is probably a curse !
