Why is high sugar harmful to health?
- A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine stated that people who consume a high-sugar diet are at an increased risk of dying from heart disease. In this study, the scientists analysed the subjects for 15 years and found that people who got 17% to 21% calories from added sugar in their diet had a 38% increased risk of dying from heart diseases compared to people who consumed 8% calories as added sugar.
- Another study conducted at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and University School of Medicine concluded that people who consume high levels of sugary carbonated beverages are at increased risk of developing coronary artery disease despite having no medical history of cardiovascular disease, cancer or diabetes.
- Studies reveal excessive sugar consumption can lead to obesity and metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, non-alcoholic fatty liver and dental problems (cavities and plaque deposition).
