For years, many medical experts are warning people about the over consumption of sugar could lead to getting diseases like diabetes. There are also others who have mixed feelings about it saying that sugar is not bad as long as it is used in moderation. But recently, experts have found more evidence pointing to sugar as the culprit to many different deadly diseases that even a small intake of it could result in one's life being at risk.
In an essay released by The Wall Street Journal, it pointed out the many reasons why sugar could be completely bad to a person's health. Sugar is known for playing a huge role in America suffering from obesity and diabetes. What most people don't know is that those two health issues increase a person's chance of having other deadly diseases cancer and cardiovascular problems.
Ever since the rise of the candy and ice-cream industries along with sodas back in the middle of the 19th century, people in the U.S. have been more hooked into sweets. For a while, these products were banned but it only leads to people consuming it more than alcohol that annual sales when up to over 100 pounds per capita. That was the first time in history that America has reached a sale like that.
Since then, doctors have always blamed sugar for being the cause of many diseases from the less serious ones like rheumatism and jaundice to the deadly ones such as cancer and diabetes. They have observed that back before the candy, ice-cream and soda industries became popular, diabetes wasn't even an existing disease. It only became common since 1861, which was the time of the Civil War.
If sugar is indeed a culprit in the cause of diabetes and cancer, then Beat Cancer's article would make so much sense stating that cancer and sugar are closely related to each other. Having said that, it is best to stay away from sugar and keep a healthy lifestyle by finding an alternative from it.
