Clearly, substances that cause harm to the body and mind are discouraged or deemed haram. Given the scientific evidence linking excessive sugar consumption to severe health problems, it could be argued that sugar fits this criterion. By classifying sugar as haram, Malaysia would align its health policies with Islamic ethical principles that prioritize the well-being of its citizens. There is no two ways about it.

Sugar addiction involves the brain’s reward system, where consuming sugar triggers dopamine and opioid release, creating pleasure and cravings. Blood sugar spikes and crashes, insulin resistance, and gut-brain signals further fuel this dependence. Habitual consumption also leads to psychological attachment, reinforcing the cycle, potentially contributing to weight gain, metabolic disorders, and chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Public Health Crisis: Malaysia has one of the highest rates of diabetes and obesity in Southeast Asia. Excessive sugar consumption is directly linked to the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Cardiovascular complications and kidney failure, both outcomes of poor diabetes control, burden the healthcare system and society at large. Proactive measures like declaring sugar as haram would directly target the root cause of these chronic conditions, promoting healthier lifestyles.

Long-term Societal Impact: Diabesity and its complications have a detrimental effect on the workforce, reducing productivity and leading to premature death. The government, by curbing sugar, can protect the nation's economic future by fostering a healthier, more capable population.
The economic impact of treating diabetes and its complications is enormous. The healthcare system is overwhelmed by the rising costs of managing chronic diseases, from expensive dialysis treatments to cardiac surgeries. By reducing sugar consumption, the government can lower the incidence of these diseases, decreasing healthcare expenditure and reallocating resources to other critical areas.

Justice = Fair and square. Preventive Health Policies: The ban or strict regulation of sugar would align with other public health initiatives like tobacco control and alcohol regulation, demonstrating that the government takes preventive health policies seriously. Public education alone has not been enough to curb sugar consumption; stronger legislative action is necessary.

Moral Responsibility vs irresponsibility: The government has a duty to protect its citizens from preventable diseases. By allowing unrestricted access to sugary foods and drinks, the government is inadvertently enabling unhealthy choices. A haramkan sugar would reflect a commitment to safeguarding public health, particularly among vulnerable populations, including children and low-income groups, who are disproportionately affected by sugar-laden diets.
