1. Sugar is the leading cause of dental deterioration. Yes it can cause cavities and although flossing is nice (the sugar is the problem) It can cause bleeding gums, periodontal disease, excessive plaque buildup, weakening of bone structure and tooth loss. 
2. Sugar is the main cause of diabetes
3. Sugar is a significant contributor to heart disease, depression, mental illness, senility and cancer.
