So far, fear has driven investors to sell consumer-exposed stocks. A basket of such companies — including Oreo cookies maker Mondelez International Inc. and Modelo beer producer Constellation Brand Inc. — is down nearly 9% since early August with losses roughly double those of the S&P 500 Index, while makers of things like insulin pumps have wiped out close to a third of their value over the same stretch amid concerns that fewer people will need their products.

While it's not only sugar, people who have to cut it out for medical reasons, or anyone doing keto isn't going to be eating potatoes for that reason.

It's carbs. Carbs is the problem, it's just that most of them come from sugar, and for anyone not currently spiraling towards diabetes, you could probably only cut sugar out of your diet and see some beneficial changes to your health.

You know, as long as you don't replace them with vegetables that happen to be mostly sugar.

Sure, I understand that. It was essentially my point. I see people joking or making comments about excessively sugary treats “ha ha this will give you diabetes” but I don’t see people say that about say, a bag of potato chips or a plate of bread, though they have as many carbs. Vegetable starch even is turned into blood glucose faster than sucrose.
