I'm sorry, on the whole I like Nicky but this is a load of BS.
Yeast do indeed feed on sugars, but unless she's dousing her scalp in sugar syrup it's not as simple a matter as dandruff=sugar in your diet. People don't just secrete sugars through their skin. And if that somehow was the case, it would include naturally-occurring sugars like those found in fruit, which she continues to consume.
The notion that sugars deplete vitamin B is also a load of horse manure. Firstly, which one?? There are multiple different B vitamins, with different dietary sources and functions in the body. If eating sugars somehow caused your body to become depleted of all B vitamins, every single one of us would be deficient, with anaemia and skin rashes. It's just not true.
If she wants to reduce her intake of added sugars, I'm all for it. The maximum recommended daily allowance of added sugar is 30g, and most people in the UK consume more than that. If she wants to adapt her diet to follow those guidelines, power to her. But spreading falsehoods like these is problematic and toxic. Foods aren't categorically "good" or "bad" - they all have functions and all nutrients help our bodies in some way. This kind of black-and-white categorising and demonising of some foods as being "bad" and nothing else is tremendously problematic and a hallmark of many restrictive eating disorders.
Food is not medicine. It is food.
