The Story of Sugar...are you overdose?

Ever wonder why, you often 'crash' and feeling sluggish all the time? Low energy levels and feeling sleepy during at work or school? Your waist line kept increasing, poor cognitive performance and often fall sick? Ever realize why often has mood swings or not feeling that great mentally? How about hypertension, diabetes, poor lipid profiling, obesity and even cancer and heart disease? Below, is the short story of chronic consumption of excessive sugar (food or beverage). Everyone, is sugar addict. 

As I've wrote a long post about sugar(especially fructose) earlier, below are some simplified consequences of chronic excess of sugar.

  • Obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes
  • Elevated triglycerides and LDL levels
  • Elevated blood pressure
  • Liver disease such as cirrhosis and liver cancer
  • Depletion of vitamins and minerals as unbound fructose, found in large quantities in HFCS, can interfere with your heart's use of minerals such as magnesium, copper and chromium.
  • Cardiovascular disease, arthritis, gout, and cancer
