"This idea that sugar is inherently bad for you is a myth," Dr. Haythe said. "We all need sugar; that's the basic block of what runs our bodies. It's necessary to survive.

海耶斯博士说：“糖对身体本质上不好是个误解。我们都需要糖，这是让人体运转的基本组成部分。糖是让我们存活的必需物质。”

MYTH: Sugar is the root of all of your health problems

误解：糖是各种身体问题的根源

FACT: Sugar is rarely the only reason behind obesity and heart disease.

事实：糖并不是肥胖和心脏病背后的唯一原因。

There's no doubt that sugar is a contributing factor to obesity. But it isn't the only thing to consider when trying to lead a healthy lifestyle.

糖无疑是导致肥胖的原因之一，但如果要过上健康的生活，糖并不是唯一要考虑的因素。

"Sugary foods happen to have lots of calories, and are usually heavily processed," Dr. Haythe said. "It's simple — if you eat a lot of calories, you'll gain weight and become unhealthy."

海耶斯博士说：“含糖食物热量都很高，而且通常是深加工食品。事情很简单：如果你摄入很多热量，体重自然会增加，然后变得不健康。”
