Technically, sugar is not "fatty". A fat molecule is comprised of long hydrocarbon chains connected by a glycerol molecule. Sugar, on the other hand, is comprised of short oxidized hydrocarbon rings that are very easy for the body to digest. The drawbacks of consuming sugar are that since it is so easy to digest the body uses it quickly increasing your energy level, but after it wheres off the energy crash is very inconvenient. Also, sugar sometimes encourages the growth of bad bacteria.
