Answer 1

Basically processed sugar hasn’t fiber. And this is the problem. The same with refined floors.
Your bacteria need fiber. If you only provides sugar, the ecosystem in your gut is disbalanced. And this is the beginning of overweight, diabetes, intolerances, poor immune system, depresions, anxiety, and a long, long, long etc.
