What happens to your body and brain when you eat too much sugar

Too much sugar has much more negative side effects than just weight issues, according to Professor at Pediatric Endocrinology, UC San Francisco and author of "The Hacking of the American Mind" and "Fat Chance", Robert Lustig. Sugar is the signal driver for a whole suite of diseases that will hit you later on in life. Here's what Lustig has to say.

Had 3 spoons in my oatmeal for breakfast, an entire Cadbury mini-celebration pack, 5 bourbon chocolate cream biscuits and now I ended up eating a laddo :) I'm worried now

Processed carbs and sugar are some of the worst enemies of health. Unfortunately, most grocery and convenience stores are stacked with items with processed sugar and carbs which makes it difficult to resist those items, even for a person with high levels of awareness and those who know what's bad.

Ok. Is there anybody who has stopped eating sweets and can give an advice how to do so?
I am 21 years old, the longest period of time I survived with no sugar is 2 months. I consume a lot of sugar everyday and it keeps me happy and energetic. The thing is, I am skinny but for sure in long term I will mess up my health with my eating habits.

One giant misconception in regards to diabetes is that it's an obesity related ailment, same with cholesterol etc.
My dad's dad had diabetes and now my dad carries the torch.
My dad is 28 years older than me and has more stamina even with diabetes.
