The American Heart Association has now confirmed that “added sugar” as found in soft drinks, desserts, and even unexpected things like sauces for meat and peanut butter pose a genuine health risk to modern consumers. I see in today’s news that the average American consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar every day.
The distinction between the natural sugars one gets in an orange, or in blueberries when compared with the highly refined sugars found in sodas, packaged cereals, syrup, or cookies is extremely important to understand.
These refined sugars don’t just case acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat. Consumption of these highly addictive refined sugars are a major risk factor for heart disease.
There really is no question about it. If you want to be healthy you should remove all refined sugar from your diet.
