I’m a sweet tooth person. I usually eat and drink anything but sweet. Sometimes I put more sugar in my hot milk, choco or coffee during my breakfast. I’ve learned that too much sugar or excessive consumption of sugar is not good for our health. And here’s some reasons why:
*Sugar can cause gallstones, appendicitis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and gastrointestinal problems.
*Sugar can raise blood pressure, increase triglycerides and bad cholesterol while decreasing good cholesterol, and its known to cause atherosclerosis and heart diseases.
*Sugar can reduce learning capacity and even cause learning disorders.
Too much consumption of processed carbohydrates can have an even faster and greater impact on blood sugar levels than refined sugar. And we also be careful with fruit juice too because the metabolic effects of too much fruit juice are not much different than that of excess sugar and corn syrup.
