    You can eat zero processed sugar and still get too many carbs in your diet, which is, i think, the important part here. Carbs are not processed sugar, but processed sugar is a carb.

    Its correct to say “you should probably eat carbs” but absolutely misguided to say “you NEED to eat sugar; and the children too!”

      I agree, just as long as you don’t say “You shouldn’t eat processed sugar at all” - although I would say it’s better to minimize processed sugar unless you need quick energy (i.e. exercise or other manual labour). :)
