Sugar causes physical changes in your heart

Sugar is so bad that it causes physical changes in your heart. (Heart Failure, 12 Reasons to Stop Eating Sugar Forever).

Too much fructose could make you fat

Some scientists believe that when you eat fructose laden foods such as maple syrup, agave, and corn syrup, the fructose fools your brain into believing that you are not full and so you eat even more.

Avoid fructose rich foods. Fruits do not come under this. They contain fructose but in little amounts enough to sweeten them but not cause you harm. (Sweet Poison: Why Sugar is ruining our health).

Sugar worse than salt for hypertension

Sugar plays a bigger role in worsening hypertension than salt (MedPage Today).

Drop the sugar completely. The nuisances of sugar seem to keep on piling up day by day.

Sugar is not bad. It is horrible

Sugar is the worst thing you can put inside yourself. Research suggests that sugar has played a role in the massive rise in diseases such as:

• Metabolic Syndrome
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Diabetes Type 2

Sugar intake is also linked to weight gain.


Men can have up to a maximum of 9 teaspoons of sugar a day. This means you, as a male, can have up to a maximum of 150 calories from sugar.


Women are allowed 6 teaspoons or100 calories from sugar a day.


But did you forget that just one can of coke has 140 calories coming from sugar?


So if you are used to drinking a can of coke a day, then you are only left with 10 calories which you can get from sugar. The 9 teaspoon of sugars a day (maximum rule) only applies if you do not get calories from sugars present in processed (junk) foods!


Best solution: Avoid junk food and as much table sugar as you possibly can. It is about your health after all.
