So, what will happen to your body if you simply go cold turkey and stop eating sugar altogether. Well, as it turns out, stopping eating sugar would be very beneficial to your health. These health benefits are listed in [2].
Basically, you'll lower your blood pressure, greatly reduce the risk of getting Diabetes, reduce the risk of Tooth decay, reduce Depression and Anxiety, sleep more easily in the night and won't be having brain fogs anymore. Even your head would hurt less.
However, stopping eating sugar is easier said than done, as we are so much addicted to it. A good alternative would be to eat more fresh fruits as well as nuts, for snacks.

Yes, but the point is that fructose in fruits is not as bad as raw white sugar, because it digests more slowly, thus there are less insulin spikes. And besides fats and proteins, fruits were definitely part of our diet. Not only humans, but almost all primates eat fruits.
