Sugar isn't essentially bad for us. It is a component in breast milk. It doesn't matter if we use refined sugar, corn sugar, cane sugar, sugar from nectarines, apples, pears, bananas or an ice cream sundae, it only harms us if we eat too much all of the time.
The bread you eat is good for you but not a heck of a lot different than other forms of carbohydrates which our bodies also need.
Humans are carnivores. We need protein and that is easier to obtain from meat than from nuts etc. It is the excess of fat that harms us in most meats.
Fiber is important too and most folks do not consume enough plant material to get it. But you can get it from taking fiber supplements and eating oat bran cereal too.
Because the human species is so smart we have discovered reliable medicine that will and does extend our lives. There isn't anything wrong with taking medicine prescribed by a qualified physician and a hell of a lot wrong with NOT taking it.
That is what I call a moderate approach.
