And the final point deals with the external effect that sugar has on humans, mainly kids. This is the fact that sugar causes tooth decay. Children are very susceptible to the dangers of sugar, more so than adults. This is because children are not as educated about nutrition as adults are. For this reason, parents should look out for their kids.
Children also seem to enjoy snack food.
They always seem to want a cookie or a piece of candy. Children are naturally drawn to the sweetness of foods that contain sugar. A major drawback of consuming too much sugar is that it causes malnutrition. If a person, a child for example, eats foods containing a high amount of sugar, he or she will be less inclined to eat other foods that contain a high amount of nutrients. Thus the child will not, in fact, get all the nutrients that he or she needs.
