How dangerous is sugar to our health?

When you consume too much sugar, the increased insulin in your system might cause problems with your arteries throughout your body.

It causes their walls to become inflamed, thicker than normal, and stiffer, which stresses and destroys your heart over time.

Heart illness, such as heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes, can result as a result of this. Sugar consumption may also help lower blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease, according to research.

Furthermore, persons who consume a lot of added sugar (at least 25% of their total calories) are twice as likely to die of heart disease as those whose diets contain less than 10% of total calories from added sugar.

However, for a fast boost of your blood sugar levels, candy or cookies might offer you a brief rush of energy (or "sugar high").
