While sugar is the current whipping boy for the obesity problem it doesn't appear that people who are obese eat more sugar than those who aren't, as least as a percentage of their diet.

I know I've heard Layne Norton talk about human randomized control trials where they match macronutrients and have one group where their carbohydrates are made up of a lot of sugar and one group where they aren't and basically there is no difference in any health markers, body fat, etc., which refutes the idea that some health gurus put forth that sugar and/or insulin causes much of our health problems.
