According to a recent study, there are several reasons why people should stop or reduce their intake of added sugar.
And a study, published in the British Medical Journal, showed the enormous damage that added sugar causes to health.
The study recommended limiting added sugar, also known as “free sugar,” to less than 10% of the total calories a person consumes per day.
The study relied on 73 types of meta-analyses (analyzing the essence of integrating qualitative and quantitative data to reach precise conclusions) which included 8,601 studies dealing with high added sugar consumption.
The large-scale study concluded that eating too much sugar is associated with 45 negative health effects, including:
Obesity, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, cancer, asthma, dental contamination, diabetes, early death.
