Sugar: 1.Low level addictive. 2.Embedded in almost all food and drinks. 3.The fall out hits almost every major organ of the body ,resulting in chronic debilitating diseases towards the latter part of life. The common practice of adding refined sugar to our food and drink began only about a century ago together with the industrial revolution which made refined sugar abundant and cheap. Before that, sugar was available only to the rich who only took it occasionally and in small quantities because of the high cost. Since then the sugar industry has grown tremendously to the extent that there is enough sugar produced annually to provide 25kg of sugar to every man, woman and child on the planet. The world annual production of sugar is worth USD200 billion. Today,people both in the developed and developing world take an average of 20 to 30 teaspoons of sugar a day, hidden in their food and drinks. The WHO (World Health Organisation) has already come out with an advisory posted on their website stating that a person should take added sugar for only 5% or less of their daily caloric needs. This spells out to be about 5 teaspoons of sugar a day. One can of soft drink or soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar. There is ein the consumption of refined sugar has been shown to be intandem with the rise in obesity, diabetes,strokes,heart disease, fatty liver disease, kidney disease and many other diseases which were not common before. This talk is to alert us to the impact of the excessive consumption of sugar on ourselves, our patients, dentistry and the cost of health care to an ation. Various facts and data will be given.The talk will also cover briefly what are some solutions to this increasingly recognised global problem of excessive consumption of sugar.
