I don't find anything wrong with it. In fact, I myself haven't been totally shying away from the sweets and carbs for some time now since I read those articles about three years ago. However, what many people don't take into account is that those studies mentioned "high-sugar" and "high-carbohydrate" diet to be specific. It's actually in that particular extremes in diet that weight and health-associated problems arise.
I still do eat sugary foods and high-carbs foods, but, in a limited if not moderate amounts. In some instances, even, I am still able to indulge myself with these stuffs. However, I always make up right away the days that follow with exercises and healthy eating. It has been my usual cycle for about two years already.
My principle is that I don't need to completely deprive myself of the good stuffs. I just need take them in moderation. I need sugar to keep my mind sharp because I work as a programmer which tasks involve problem-solving with the puzzles of data processing. I need carbs to fuel my body and muscles and give me energy to get through the day. But again, it all comes down to getting them in sufficient amounts as much as I can. The more I deprive myself, the more I will subject myself to binge at times. By keeping things in minimum I am able to control my craving. In fact, I have gradually developed the preference to keep away from the sweets and refined carbs as much as possible.
However, the truth is we can't actually get rid of these stuffs altogether. It's a reality and we find these everywhere. Healthcare and research advancements nowadays allow us to compensate for our guilt. We can always opt to take advantage of these advancements by blocking the ill effects of having to eat too much carbs at times. Many supplements allow us just that. Thank to science and years of commitment to research. We can have the best of both worlds.
