Sugar vs salt

HERE is a quick question: which is worse – sugar or salt? Give yourself an extra pat on the back if you answer that both are just as bad. However, if you answered that salt is worse that sugar, then your health may be in trouble because you are operating from wrong knowledge.  

Sugar is probably the most dangerous and most widely eaten nutrient-free food known to man. It is junk food. Lots of calories and almost nothing else in it. If the calories are not used, they end up as fat in the body. It does not supply any nutrient but may drain nutrients from the body in an effort to metabolise it. That's why it is sometimes called “empty calories”.
