SWEET POISON: The harmful effects of sugar

“PepsiCo Inc has set a target for reducing the amount of sugar in its soft drinks around the world as part of a suite of goals aimed at tackling problems ranging from obesity and diabetes to climate change.”

Most people know that sugar is not good for them, but for some reason, they think that the risk of excess sugar consumption is less than that of having too much saturated and trans fat, sodium or calories.

Sugar is a natural component of healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, but eating too much of it comes with dire consequences.

If you really knew that what it was doing to your body, you might just put it at the top of your "foods to avoid" list. Here are things that may surprise you about sugar: Sugar accelerates aging  Some of the sugar we take in end up getting attached to the proteins in a process called glycation.  This contributes to the loss of elasticity of the tissues of the organs, arteries, and skin.  When this happens, skin begins to age, wrinkles appear, and the skin starts to sag.

Sugar causes tooth decay  One of the basic damages that sugar does is tooth decay and gum disease.  When sugar stays in mouth or teeth, it accelerates decay faster than any other food substance.  Brushing the teeth often and avoiding sugar altogether are ways to avoid tooth decay usually caused by sugar.

Sugar can increase the risk of heart disease  Excessive sugar consumption can cause weight gain.  Weight gain, combined with sustained high insulin levels, can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes.  This can further increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Sugar can damage the liver  The alcohol has not the sole right to damage the liver; too much fructose (natural sugar) can also have almost the similar effects on the body.  Sugar gets shuttled to the transporter of nutrients and filter of the body – the liver, this potentially causes liver damage in the long run.

Sugar can promotes fat  Foods rich in fiber, fat and protein all have been associated with increased fullness.  Sugar will give us the calories, but not make us fuller after meals. It does not lower the levels of the hunger hormone lead to increases overall food intake.  A study in children found that excess fructose intake actually caused visceral fat cells to mature setting the stage for a big belly and even bigger future risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Sugar interferes with immune function.  Sugar can suppress the immune system and impair the defenses against infectious disease.  Sugar and Vitamin C are similar in their chemical structure. When we eat sugar, it directly competes for space in our immune cells with Vitamin C.  The more sugar in the system, the less Vitamin C can get into white blood cells.  Sugar DOES NOT helps the immune system fight infection at all, resulting in a weakened defense from infections.

Be aware that just because something boasts that it is low in carbs or a “diet" food, doesn't mean it's free of sugar.

Don't stress about it if you find it hard to completely throw out the sugar.

Diet changes take time and if you want new healthy habits to stick, try to be persistent.
