Too Much Sugar Can Be Unhealthy To Our Body

By Mitch Taylor

There's nothing like a sugary, sweet snack every now and then, but too many indulgences can increase your chances of developing heart disease as you age.

A recent report shows that people who eat extra sugar regularly will be more likely to have increased risk factors for heart disease. These factors include higher levels of triglycerides as well as lower levels of protective lipoproteins and HDL or good cholesterol.

In the study, 6,000 adults were asked questions about their diet. They were then grouped by cholesterol and sugar intake. Of the participants, about 16% of their average daily calories were from added sugar.

People in the study who at the most sugar were found to have an intake of 46 teaspoons daily. Those who ate the least amount of sugar had just three teaspoons a day.

To be healthy, doctors say women should eat only six teaspoons of sugar a day and nine teaspoons for men. The sugar mentioned refers to processed and additive sugars, not fruit and natural occurring sugars.

Researchers who conducted these studies hope their findings will influence food manufacturers from adding sugar to their foods to prevent heart disease. The impact of such studies has resulted in some states taxing sugary soft drinks to avoid obesity and related diseases.

With just a half-cent sales tax on sugary soft drinks can result in reducing the consumption of these beverages by 10 gallons each year. That's a reduction of 50 gallons to 40 gallons.

A healthy diet contains a limited amount of natural sugars. Too many additive sugars can jeopardize your health by contributing to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. Make the right decision for your health and keep sugary treats to a minimum. It will help you live a longer, healthier life.
