health effects of sugar
Sugar Effects on the BRAIN. One of the most debilitating health problems in our modern, Western world today is depression. According to the World Health Organization, depression is not only sharply on the rise, with suicides alone having risen 60% in the last 45 years, but it is currently the 4th leading contributor to the global burden of disease.
Sugar Effects on our HEART. When most people think of what causes heart disease, fat is normally the answer that follows. However, we have to awaken to the fact that sugar leads to heart disease as well, and today there is a HUGE link between diabetes and heart disease.
It's been called a poison, a drug and a toxin, and scientists have started blaming it for everything from obesity to heart disease to diabetes. It's sugarâspecifically, added sugar, not the kind in fruitâand while we all know we should eat it in moderation, that can be almost impossible (we'll explain why in a minute).
