If you decide to reduce or eliminate sugar, you will see how you manage to break this vicious circle and over time you will feel less cravings. You could lose weight: If the energy in sugar is not burned right after you eat it, it will turn into fat for your body as well as empty calories.

Eliminating (or reducing) the amount of sugar you eat can also lower insulin and glucose spikes in your bloodstream, decreasing chronic and acute inflammation associated with age.

Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, as well as being overweight and obese, which in turn are risk factors for both pathologies, are the most direct consequences of excessive consumption of sugar. And with "exceeding" we are talking about exceeding 5% of the total calories ingested in the day.
