    More than 6 teaspoons of sugar daily increases risk of 45 different health problems

    We are talking about Added Sugar seen on the nutrition label. Or that sugar you add to what was healthy coffee or tea.

    The WHO's recommendation to limit added sugar to no more than 10% of your daily energy intake. That is crazy high.

    More than 6 teaspoons of sugar daily increases risk of 45 different health problems

    Limiting added sugar to just six teaspoons a day and sticking with one sugary drink a week could improve your health immensely, a new study reveals. Moreover, researchers in China say consuming too much added sugar each day raises the risk of developing 45 different health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and depression.


    The World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested that added sugars should not make up more than 10 percent of daily energy intake. An international team has now carried out an umbrella review to find out the quality of evidence, potential biases, and validity of all available studies on dietary sugar consumption and health outcomes.


    Umbrella reviews look at previous studies on a topic and offer an overall view of all the information available. The investigation included 73 studies from just over 8,600 articles, which covered 83 health outcomes in adults and children.


    The studies showed that too much sugar can lead to diabetes, gout, obesity, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. They also revealed that a sugary diet can lead to seven cancer outcomes, including breast, prostate, and pancreatic tumors. What’s more, too much sugar can cause asthma, tooth decay, depression, and even death.


    Too much soda could lead to serious health issues

    Carbonated beverages in general and sugar substitutes are likely the most damaging of substances known to mankind.

    After looking at all the things that can cause health problems I have decided to stop eating anything.

    6 teaspoons is a lot.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Really, with respect for all other opinions,
    I think this is only more BS.

    wth isn't going to kill us ?

    In a while, an opposing opinion will become the accepted new truth and fact to live by..

    When I was volunteering at the local library, we always wondered why the sugar packets at the coffee station needed to be refilled so often. I was rearranging the shelves in the reference section, I realized that a group of high school kids would come in after school, grab a handful of packets, go down to the reference section, hide in a corner, chug the sugar, and throw the empty packets behind the books...explains any hyperactivity issues there LOL

    When I was that age it didn't matter - my metabolism murdered calories. And I bet had my birth shifted right 10 years I would have been on the zombie pills. That would maybe have deprived the world of what I do. Me.
