White sugar is refined and whatever part your body doesn't use for energy it will treat it as fat and store it quickly.

Sugar is a "simple Carbohydrate". The body indeed needs carbohydrate, but in a more complex form. Potatoes, rice, bread and pasta are all pure "complex" carbohydrate but with a big nutritional value! The body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugar and then uses it for energy.
Does sugar make you fat? Yes, but only if you eat more than your body can handle - too much sugar will be stored as fat in the fat cells all over the body.
THe bad news is....we are all eating way too much sugar! There is too much "hidden" sugar in food we eat each day - over 80% of the sugar we eat is hidden in "every day foods". Lets just take ketchup as an example. Ketchup contains far more sugar than most chocolate does! People eat in general around 100 grams of sugar every day - or 41 kilos a year!! That's two times more than we should!
The different between the sugar in fruit and refined sugar is the sugar in fruit will be absorbed more slowly by the body than refined sugar and will keep insulin and blood sugar stabile - refined sugar will make insulin and blood sugar rise very quickly!

Sugar causes your insulin to rise which can cause your body to store fat in all the wrong places. Other than that the calories found in sugar are no different than any other calorie. It's best to avoid sugar if you want to stay healthy.
White flour, Honey, Maple Syrup, White Rice, Fruit Drinks, High Fructose Corn Syrup all are sources of refined sugar.

Sugar doesn't make you fat. Overeating anything with calories in it makes you fat.

Yeah, sugar are carbohydrates which turn into fat if you do not burned them off--- then your body stores the fat if you still don't burned them off.

In theory, apples could make you fat if you eat enough of them. You should eat a certain number of calories a day. If you go significantly over that, particularly over time, you'll gain weight.

YEs. If you don't use up that suger it will build up to fat. But fruits have natural suger and that's good for you. but un natural suger is really bad for you.
