...to the latest talk about sugar and the odd distinction of "added" sugar.

To the extent I have any concern, it would be: (1) wondering if reducing sugar intake might be a good idea for my long-term health, in ways that wouldn't be easily apparent just going by my current condition, and (2) while my body fat is in the nominally healthy range at a little over 20%, I'd like to get down to the "fit" category with 17% or less, and perhaps that would be easier to do with less sugar.

I'm not concerned enough about either issue, however, to make any immediate or radical changes in my diet,

And yes, I've heard that salt has probably been excessively demonized, and haven't been worrying much about salt consumption or hidden added salt.
