1. Sugar Is Linked To

Depression

It’s important to remember that the

foods you eat don’t just release their nutrients,

sugars, and calories into your belly and

thighs. They also send them up to your brain.

2. Sugar Is Linked To Obesity

Another way that sugar consumption has been found to

contribute to obesity is through “leptin

resistance.” 

Leptin is a hormone that is supposed to be secreted when

you have had enough to eat.

3. Sugar Is Linked To High Blood Pressure

The more sugar you eat, the more your

bad cholesterol levels surge, which in turn boosts your blood

sugar.

4. Sugar Increases Your Risk of Heart

Attack

Figures in the past have shown that people who

consume 25% more sugar than everyone else have a stronger chance of dying of a

heart attack.

5. Sugar Is Addictive

While sugar is not classed as a drug, its effects are similar to heroin

.

6. Sugar Is Linked To Fatty Liver

Disease

Over time, too much sugar can cause a

fatty liver, which, if left untreated, can lead to full-on liver

disease.

7. Sugar Is Linked To Diabetes

Diabetes happens when your pancreas doesn’t create enough insulin

, which is the hormone we rely on to turn sugar into

fuel.

8. Sugar Could Cause

Cancer

Other studies have demonstrated that

certain cancers such as those of the pancreas, prostate, colon, and rectum seem to be

increased with sugar intake.

9. Sugar Rots Your Teeth

Although sugar is certainly not the sole

reason for oral issues, 

it can certainly cause some pretty nasty damage to your 

molars.

10. You Feel Less Hungry

Because sugar is so addictive, it just

makes you want to eat more and more.

Cutting it out from your diet will

harmonize your appetite and you’ll no

longer feel like a bottomless pit of

starvation.

So what should you

do? 

Limit your sugar intake

overall.

Make wiser food

choices.

Eat fresh fruits, but focus on

vegetables and avoid fruit juices

which do not contain the

beneficial fiber.

Avoid dried fruits.

Eat proteins.

Choose unrefined, whole-grain foods such as brown rice vs. refined bread and pasta like white bread, instant

rice.
