Sugar is rotting more than your teeth. It’s true. A
tablespoon here, a few packets there, a cube or two
with your afternoon tea. It adds up faster than
you might imagine. And while satisfying the old
sweet tooth is a pleasure that we’re all guilty of, it’s
important to understand that consuming excessive
amounts of sugars can do significant damage to
more than just your smile.
Unfortunately, the problem doesn’t stop at table
sugar. In fact, the most detrimental sugars are often
hidden in popular processed foods and beverages.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a perfect example.
Made popular in the 1970’s, HCFS is commonly
used in soda, jelly, candy, sauces, condiments, beer,
cookies, breakfast cereals and many more. After a
chemically-intense extraction and treatment process,
all that remains is an extremely sweet, nutritionallydepleted
chemical that’s inexpensive to manufacture
with an extremely high glycemic rating. Within the
body, high glycemic sweeteners are among the most
unfavorable, as they can reduce insulin sensitivity
and encourage the body to store greater amounts
of fat.
Thanks in part the mainstream media, the public
has been made well aware of the influence sugar
can have on tooth decay and weight gain. Still,
diets high in sugar can lead to a number of health
ailments that only seem to generate the attention
they deserve after its too late.
