It's not sugar.
It's high glycemic-index foods...simple carbs are the worst (sugars, breads, pasta, beer, alcohol).
Better are complex carbs, those with a lot of fiber for example (things like oatmeal).
The best things are fats and protein. Your body needs the essential amino acids they provide, and they have a low glycemic response.
Unfortunately, we also have a high consumption of processed simple carbs like white rice and bread here in Malaysia other than sugary drinks. I've been told eateries are cutting down on sugar on drinks though
white rice and bread are both complex carbs tho.
That has been debunked long ago. Presence of protein and fat will lower Glycemic Index.
