I urge you to please actually read a nutritional science book or watch someone like Renaissance Periodization with Dr. Mike Israetel on this. Sugar is not 'unhealthy'. Unrestricted and unmarked caloric intakes from foods including sugars and fats are. Any food source that isn't outright toxic on its own is healthy enough that your body can make use of it. The only people that actively should fear sugar are diabetic.

Yeah but apple juice has more calories than a coke so. It is really not something you should be drinking often.

Sure, if we're assuming the same ounces. Doses make the poison and that. If you enjoy it, enjoy it responsibly.

I'm a powerlifter and care about my diet but at the end of the day, calories and adherence to them are 90% of a healthy diet. Macros, timing, micros, they're all just supplementary and used to optimize for your goals
