Podcast sugar

And scene!
It's a Thursday today and I sit listening to an anti sugar podcast wondering why would I do this to myself?
Sugar is a drug, it starts!
It's the reason why your brains cells get destroyed which results in making you fat, the doctor goes on to say.

Alright!
So no more sugar I think, but this a reasoning mostly for people who are hardcore into junk and super processed foods which are always choke full of sodium and lots of sugar to make it extremely delicious to our palettes.
Even salty stuff that we buy outside, like my favourite chips have a lot of sugar added to make it that much more delicious .
Every flavour is turned up to max and sugar is added to balance everything which means lots of sugar.
From burgers to pizzas to literally everything we eat out of packets are sugared, but what about the few teaspoons of sugar I like in my tea and coffee everyday?
Surely I shouldn't have to stop that, but according to this podcast, not only should I stop consuming the 15gms of added sugar I eat everyday but also restrict my fruit intake.
Now that is a bit much.
I shouldn't have the four bananas and couple apples or pears I eat everyday?
Nor should I eat the dried fruits which are dates and figs, and even if I do they shouldn't be any more that a couple .
What??
Okay, now I need to stop listening to this.
