is sugar making you fat

When people say that sugar is white poison they mean table sugar because it contains no other nutrients only calories unlike its counterpart jaggery contains many nutrients which are iron, potassium, magnesium,manganese, sucrose, fructose and glucose The idea that sugar is the enemy when it comes to our health is based on a correlation between sugar intake and obesity, but it's important to note that correlation doesn't equal causation. Sugar doesn't make a unique contribution to obesity and it's more likely that the totality of the diet including increased caloric consumption from all sources exerts a significant impact on the likelihood of obesity. Sugar intake may not be a central cause of obesity or type 2 diabetes, and it's more important to look at the diet and lifestyle as a whole. High sugar consumption does not lead to diabetes alone but leading a sedentary lifestyle and consuming sugary and high calorie food will cause diabetes as well as many other health issues
