Whole grains have lots of nutrients.
Ground flax seed has Omega-3.
Sugar is brain fuel. But don't binge or regularly overdo processed sugars, like white sugar or high fructose corn syrup, etc.
I put brown sugar on my oatmeal and a bunch in the 600 ml cup of black coffee I have in the morning. Then I don't put sugar on anything else all day, certainly not in the green tea I have in the afternoon. I don't drink soda (I used to drink a lot of Coca Cola).
The problem is not sugar so much, but how people use excess sugar and processed IN PLACE OF NUTRIENTS. Then the body cries out for nutrients and the person mistakes it for "hunger" and eats more processed food. But that doesn't have much nutrients either, so the cycle repeats.
If you eat healthy food, you can just about eat as much as you want and you will be satisfied sooner with fewer calories.
