sugar is bad for everyone because it makes us Fat. Most things made with sugar are empty calories, that offer no nutritional value like candy, sweets, exc. to bad it tastes SOOOO good!

It's not any worse for you than any other person in the world.

It's 'bad' for RnY patients, because it causes dumping syndrome.

Banders don't do this.

Bandsters can eat sugar.. Like fairy said rny patients have dumping syndrome.

Sugar is bad for everyone there is nothing that makes it worse for bandsters than for anyone else. Mainly the problem is that it is full of empty calories. When we are taking in less food we need to make sure that the food we do take in has a lot of good nutrients...sugar just doesn't.

Also,for many of us it causes insulin spikes. You eat the sugar your insulin spikes too high really fast then it drops too low really fast. Your body then sends out a signal for more sugar (other carbs can have the same effect) and you just get caught in a vicious cycle. It is best to keep your insulin level.
