I don't agree. Since I was forced to give up sucrose (due to dermatitis that I found out (accidentally) was caused/triggered by sucrose) I've noticed so many health benefits it's insane.
I no longer miss sugary 'treats', and happily much on apples instead of chocolate bars as I used to.
I sleep better, feel better, concentrate better, control weight better, I'm more productive... the list goes on.
