Suri, you are absolutely right. Sugars are carbohydrates, and not particularly useful ones for our bodies. Not in the quantities present in a lot of grocery store processed foods and soft drinks. Much better to cut down on those simple sugars, but to keep complex carbohydrates. http://www.briancalkins.com/simplevscomplexcarb.htm

I'm constantly reminding myself of this, buying whole grains exclusively and trying not to drink stuff with a lot of added sugar. It's too bad sugar is so good tasting.
