125 Reasons Why Sugar Is Harmful!

In addition to throwing off the body's homeostasis, excess sugar may result in a number of other significant consequences. The following is a listing of some of sugar's metabolic consequences from a variety of medical journals and other scientific publications. The following data is from the book, Lick the Sugar Habit, by Nancy Appleton. 1 Sugar can suppress the immune system 2 Sugar upsets the mineral relationships in the body 3 Sugar can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and crankiness in children 4 Sugar can produce a significant rise in triglycerides 5 Sugar contributes to the reduction of defense against bacterial infection (infectious diseases) 6 Sugar causes a loss of tissue elasticity and function; the more sugar you eat the more elasticity and function you loose 7 Sugar reduces high density lipoproteins 8 Sugar leads to chromium deficiency 9 Sugar leads to cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostrate, and rectum 10 Sugar can increase fasting levels of glucose 11 Sugar causes copper deficiency 12 Sugar interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium 13 Sugar can weaken eyesight 14 Sugar raises the level of neurotransmitters: dopamine. serotonin, and nor-epinephrine 15 Sugar can cause hypoglycemia 16 Sugar can produce an acidic digestive tract 17 Sugar can cause a rapid rise of adrenaline levels in children 18 Sugar malabsorption is frequent in patients with functional bowel disease 19 Sugar can cause premature aging 20 Sugar can lead to alcoholism 21 Sugar can cause tooth decay 22 Sugar contributes to obesity 23 High intake of sugar increases the risk of Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis 24 Sugar can cause changes frequently found in a person with gastric or duodenal ulcers 25 Sugar can cause arthritis 26 Sugar can cause asthma 27 Sugar greatly assists the uncontrolled growth of Candida Albicans (yeast infections) 28 Sugar can cause gallstones 29 Sugar can cause heart disease 30 Sugar can cause appendicitis 31 Sugar can cause multiple sclerosis 32 Sugar can cause hemorrhoids 33 Sugar can cause varicose veins 34 Sugar can elevate glucose and insulin responses in oral contraceptive users 35 Sugar can lead to periodontal disease 36 Sugar can contribute to osteoporosis 37 Sugar contributes to saliva acidity 38 Sugar can cause a decrease in insulin sensitivity 39 Sugar can lower the amount of vitamin E in the blood 40 Sugar can decrease growth hormone 41 Sugar can increase cholesterol 42 Sugar can increase the systolic blood pressure 43 Sugar can cause drowsiness and decreased activity in children 44 High sugar intake increases advanced glycation end products (AGEs)(Sugar bound non-enzymatically to protein) 45 Sugar can interfere with the absorption of protein 46 Sugar causes food allergies 47 Sugar can contribute to diabetes 48 Sugar can cause toxemia during pregnancy 49 Sugar can contribute to eczema in children 50 Sugar can cause cardiovascular disease 51 Sugar can impair the structure of DNA 52 Sugar can change the structure of protein 53 Sugar can make our skin age by changing the structure of collagen 54 Sugar can cause cataracts 55 Sugar can cause emphysema 56 Sugar can cause atherosclerosis 57 Sugar can promote an elevation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) 58 High sugar intake can impair the physiological homeostasis of many systems in the body 59 Sugar lowers the enzymes' ability to function 60 Sugar intake is higher in people with Parkinsons disease 61 Sugar can cause a permanent altering of the way the proteins act in the body 62 Sugar can increase the size of the liver, by making the liver cells divide 63 Sugar can increase the amount of liver fat 64 Sugar can increase kidney size and produce pathological changes in the kidney 65 Sugar can damage the pancreas 66 Sugar can increase the body's fluid retention 67 Sugar is enemy # 1 of the bowel movement 68 Sugar can cause myopia (nearsightedness) 69 Sugar can compromise the lining of the capillaries 70 Sugar can make the tendons more brittle 71 Sugar can cause headaches, including migraine 72 Sugar plays a role in pancreatic cancer in women 73 Sugar can adversely affect school children's grades and cause learning disorders 74 Sugar can cause an increase in delta, alpha, and theta brain waves 75 Sugar can cause depression 76 Sugar increases the risk of gastric cancer 77 Sugar can cause dyspepsia (indigestion) 78 Sugar can increase your risk of getting gout 79 Sugar can increase the levels of glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test over the ingestion of complex carbohydrates 80 Sugar can increase the insulin responses in humans consuming high-sugar diets compared to low-sugar diets 81 Highly refined sugar diet reduces learning capacity 82 Sugar can cause less effective functioning of two blood proteins, albumin, and lipoproteins, which may reduce the body's ability to handle fat and cholesterol 83 Sugar can contribute to Alzheimer's disease 84 Sugar can cause platelet adhesiveness 85 Sugar can cause hormonal imbalance; some hormones become underactive and others become overactive 86 Sugar can lead to the formation of kidney stones 87 Sugar can lead the hypothalamus to become highly sensitive to a large variety of stimuli 89 Sugar can lead to dizziness 90 Diets high in sugar can cause free radicals and oxidative stress 91 High sucrose diets of subjects with peripheral vascular disease significantly increases platelet adhesion 92 High sugar diet can lead to biliary tract cancer 93 Sugar feeds cancer 94 High sugar consumption of pregnant adolescents is associated with a twofold increased risk for delivering a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant 95 High sugar consumption can lead to substantial decrease in gestation duration among adolescents 96 Sugar slows food's travel time through the gastrointestinal tract 97 Sugar increases the concentration of bile acids in stools and bacterial enzymes in the colon 98 Sugar increases estradiol (the most potent form of naturally occurring estrogen) in men 99 Sugar combines and destroys phosphatase, an enzyme, which makes the process of digestion more difficult 100 Sugar can be a risk factor of gallbladder cancer 101 Sugar is an addictive substance 102 Sugar can be intoxicating, similar to alcohol 103 Sugar can exacerbate PMS 104 Sugar given to premature babies can affect the amount of carbon dioxide they produce 105 Increase in sugar intake can increase emotional instability 106 The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch 107 The rapid absorption of sugar promotes excessive food Intake in obese subjects 108 Sugar can worsen the symptoms of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 109 Sugar adversely affects urinary electrolyte composition 110 Sugar can slow down the ability of the adrenal glands to function 111 Sugar has the potential of inducing abnormal metabolic processes in a normal healthy individual and to promote chronic degenerative diseases 112 I.Vs (intravenous feedings) of sugar water can cut off oxygen to the brain 113 High sucrose intake could be an important risk factor in lung cancer 114 Sugar increases the risk of polio 115 High sugar intake can cause epileptic seizures 116 Sugar causes high blood pressure in obese people 117 In Intensive Care Units: Limiting sugar saves lives 118 Sugar may induce cell death 119 Sugar may impair the physiological homeostasis of many systems in living organisms 120 In juvenile rehabilitation camps, when children were put on a low sugar diet, there was a 44% drop in antisocial behavior 121 Sugar can cause gastric cancer 122 Sugar dehydrates newborns 123 Sugar can cause gum disease 124 Sugar increases the estradiol in young men 125 Sugar can cause low birth weight babies References Sanchez, A., et al., Role of Sugars in Human Neutrophllic Phagocytasts, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
