Sugar is an important part of a person's diet. Most sugars are disaccharides (like lactose, sucrose, and fructose) which are small carbohydrates. The body uses it to generate a lot of energy very quickly. As long as a person eats on a regular basis, then sugar isn't as important, because the body has enough time to properly digest other nutrients to get ATP (cellular fuel).
