What if I stop eating sugar?

Eliminating sugar could directly affect your physical health, too. Never eating any form of sugar could result in nutrient deficiency, since many nutritious foods have naturally-occurring sugars. If you eliminated fruit, for example, you'd be missing out on many essential nutrients.

I've had gynecomastia on my right side below the nipple for the last 13 years, diagnosed by an oncologist and radiologist. It's painful when touched. Are there any Ayurvedic treatments to reduce it without surgery?

Chronic painful gynecomastia rarely responds to Ayurvedic treatments; surgery offers best relief, but hormone evaluation and weight management are helpful first steps.
