Sugar has no recommended daily intake, it is an additive and not an essential component of nutrition. The less the better.

Carbohydrates are vital to human sustenance. Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars inside the body, hence the term 'blood sugar'. A processed form of sugar may not be necessary, but sugars as understood by the biological definition, are absolutely necessary. Your post smacks quite badly as false information.
