If we want to keep ourselves less vulnerable to cardiac disease later in our life, we should try to avoid sugar. Even if you enjoy eating a sugary treat, you should know the facts and act accordingly.
Through a comparative study made on two different groups researchers have found the negative effect of taking sugar for a long time. It reduces the good cholesterol called HDL. It makes an imbalance in the levels of triglycerides and lipoproteins. As a result, a person consuming added sugar on a regular basis gets more vulnerable to heart diseases.
Researchers based their data by surveying 6000 people grouped in the category of cholesterol level and sugar intake level. They found an interesting but alarming information that almost 16 percent participants’ daily calorie intake came form added sugar.
You may take it as a joke if I say that the study found that people with greatest amount of sugar intake took 46 teaspoons of sugar daily. Now come to the least amount. That comes to 3 teaspoons daily.
Men and women are recommended to have nine and six teaspoons of processed and additive sugar daily. Naturally occurring sugar like those found in fresh fruit is not counted here.
Time will come when governments will have no need to impose taxes on sugary drinks to limit the consumption of daily sugar. Researchers are hopeful that food companies will come forward and start using less sugar in the food items. All this will help control national obesity problem and reduce heart disease in some way.
People would go for sugary soft drinks less frequently if we could have some sales tax at half a cent. A study shows that this could reduce the intake considerably from 50 gallons to 40 gallons annually.
It is not heart disease alone but other complicated health problems that are also connected to sugar intake. It may lead you to become vulnerable to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and even stroke. All these facts are being found in different researches conducted by different organizations.
