It's fairly basic nutrition education that cutting out or reducing refined sugar intake will reduce cavities and reduce body fat. It's all about the amount you consume them in amongst the rest of your diet.
It's not new evidence, science or research that says you should reduce your refined sugar intake.
I agree it's not new and known for decades.
But I see a significant fraction my friends, family and students in university to have no clue. I recently worked with a student who shared his struggle with extra weight and asked about my gym habits. To his surprise I can't exercise except daily walk and I told that eliminating refined sugars is low hanging fruit. The student was surprised (early 20s) and didn't know how to tell if yogurt in cafeteria had added sugars.
