Please define 'worse'.
Sodium is worse than sugar in that consuming a teaspoon of it will make you very ill.
Sodium is better than sugar as it reacts violently with water and can combine with chlorine in order to form salt, both of which are useful.
Sugar is worse than sodium because it rots your teeth and makes you fat, sodium doesn't and you also need sodium to live.
Sugar is better than sodium because it tastes nicer!
etc
In moderation, neither.
As a diabetic, i would have to say sugars and carbohydrates, because they're sneaky little bastards that'll get your blood sugar messed up. Sodium is in everything bascially, so if you don't salt your food, you should be OK.
hope this helps!
Neither is worse if you have sodium and sugar from all natural organic raw vegan sources.
Try sea salt (pink from the Himalayas) and agave nectar as salt and sugar substitutes and your health will benefit as well.
Both result in weight gain. But unlike sugar, sodium highly contributes to high blood pressure and heart diseases. so it would be sodium.
sugar --- at least with sodium ( especially if you live in a hot country ) that is a benefit --- good luck
