Answer

You eat a lot of candies or junk food \> it contains a lot of fat and added sugar > having too much sugar and fat in your diet can result in health problems and so does missing micronutrients in long-term.

Eating it here and there is fine, it doesn’t damage your system each time you eat it if that’s what you meant.

Answer

It creates insulin insensitivity which makes your body less capable of processing glucose which in turn makes you store more body fat. Working out and keeping sugars in moderation is your best bet to make a difference in your health. You really can’t control a lot of health related problems, but those related to sugar you can.

Answer

It’s all in the amount you eat and relative to your overall diet. A few pieces of candy or a single serving of dessert every now and then won’t hurt if you are eating healthy most of the time. Filling up on junk food every day is a different matter.
