Question: Is sugar really bad for you from the physical point of view or from the spiritual point of view?
Sri Chinmoy: Sugar is not bad either from the physical point of view or from the spiritual point of view. When taken in a small, reasonable quantity, sugar helps, especially in strengthening the bone structure during the formative stage of life. But if one takes too much sugar, then naturally it will be harmful.
