Read this sentence from an argumentative essay that supports restricting high-sugar foods. Consuming too much sugar over time can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Where would be the most appropriate place in the essay for this sentence?

The sentence gives a specific reason to support restricting high-sugar foods: too much sugar can contribute to serious health problems. A body paragraph is where an essay develops its reasons with supporting facts. It is not the thesis, which states the essay’s main position, or a counterclaim, which presents an opposing view.
