It’s actually not that bad for you, to get all carbs from sugars as long as you’re not stupid with it. What is bad is having a lot in one go and spiking your blood sugar.
This triggers a big insulin response, which is gonna get you that sugar low after.

Plus a lot of this will lead to an insensitivity to insulin, leading to type 2 diabetes
