12 Surprising Ways Sugar Harms Your Health.
Sugar tastes sweet, but too much can harm your health. Whole foods like fruits, veggies, dairy, and grains have natural sugars that your body digests slowly, giving you steady energy. Added sugars, found in packaged foods and drinks, aren’t needed by your body. The American Heart Association suggests no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of added sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons (36 grams) for men. Yet, the average American consumes 22 teaspoons (88 grams) daily. Just one 12-ounce soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar with no nutritional benefit. Here are 12 Diseases caused by too much sugar.

00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, 12 Surprising Ways Sugar Harms Your Health.
00:14Sugar tastes sweet, but too much can harm your health.
00:17Whole foods like fruits, veggies, dairy, and grains have natural sugars that your body
00:22digests slowly, giving you steady energy. Added sugars, found in packaged foods and
00:26drinks, aren't needed by your body. The American Heart Association suggests
00:30no more than 6 teaspoons, 25 grams, of added sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons, 36 grams,
00:36for men. Yet, the average American consumes 22 teaspoons, 88 grams, daily.
00:41Just one 12-ounce soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar with no nutritional benefit.
00:46Here are 12 Diseases Caused by Too Much Sugar.
00:481. Weight Gain.
00:50Drinking a soda daily without cutting calories elsewhere can make you 15 pounds heavier in
00:54three years, leading to issues like diabetes and some cancers.
00:582. Heart Disease.
00:591 in 10 Americans get one quarter of the daily calories from added sugar.
01:03This doubles their risk of dying from heart disease,
01:05possibly due to higher blood pressure or fats in the bloodstream.
01:093. Diabetes.
01:10Sugary drinks increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by affecting insulin,
01:14the hormone that turns food into energy. Losing 10 to 15 pounds can help manage blood sugar.
01:194. High Blood Pressure.
01:21Sugar, like salt, can raise blood pressure.
01:23High sugar intake spikes insulin levels,
01:25making blood vessels less flexible and causing kidneys to retain water and sodium.
01:305. High Cholesterol.
01:31High sugar diets raise bad LDL cholesterol, lower, good, HDL cholesterol, and increase
01:37the blood fats triglycerides and hinder the enzyme that break them down.
01:406. Liver Disease.
01:42Fructose in packaged foods and drinks turns into fat in your liver,
01:45potentially leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
01:48Early diet changes can reverse it, but prolonged issues can cause liver damage.
01:537. Cavities.
01:54Sugar feeds mouth bacteria, producing acid that erodes tooth enamel.
01:58Sugary drinks, dried fruits, candy, and especially sour candies are common culprits.
02:038. Poor Sleep.
02:04High sugar intake causes energy spikes and crashes,
02:07making it hard to stay awake during the day and disrupting your sleep at night.
02:119. Mood Problems.
02:12Excess sugar has been linked to anxiety and depression.
02:15Men consuming over 66 grams daily were 23% more likely to be diagnosed with
02:20these conditions than those eating 40 grams or less.
02:2310. Gout.
02:24Like red meat and shellfish, fructose can lead to gout by causing uric acid to form
02:28painful crystals in joints.
02:3011. Kidney Stones.
02:31Excess fructose can increase the risk of kidney stones,
02:34which form when chemicals in urine turn into solid crystals and can block urine flow.
02:3812. Aging.
02:39Sugary drinks may age your cells.
02:42One study found that consuming 20 ounces of soda daily shortens DNA telomeres,
02:46effectively adding over four years to your biological age.
02:4913. Possible ADHD.
02:51While many believe sugar worsens ADHD, studies show no proven link.
02:56Genetics likely play a larger role in ADHD.
02:59Too much sugar can affect your body in many ways.
03:01Cutting down on added sugars can lead to better overall health.
