I've never though of this question before since when my parents told me that if I consume too much sweet, it's not good for my health. It's the main cause of diabetes; also it's the leading cause of oral diseases such as cavities, bleeding gums, and loss of teeth. Although, I know that sugar is very addictive but after I've read about this, I'm starting to consider what I eat everyday.
is Sugar good or bad for your health ?

Try to elaborate more on the topic. Is there some reason you might think sugar is good for you? Where did you read about this? In an article? You should cite the article, if so.
I think it's important to note that sugar as sugar is not bad for your health; our body needs sugar. The problem comes with all the refined sugar and artificial sugar. Refined sugar is sugar that has been stripped of all it's nutrients and all that's left is a carbohydrate. This form of sugar is what's poisonous to us!
I don't think sugar can be labeled as good for your health or bad for your health, but like all foods, needs to be consumed in moderation. Yes, there will be side effects if is it consumed in excess amounts but so does almost every other food.
