Eating too much sugar was previously associated with heavy consumption of fats and Diabetes but now US researchers have showed up another drastic affect of consuming too much sugar and that is the relationship of sugar and heart diseases. It was reported that people who ate more added sugar are at high risks of getting heart diseases like higher triglycerides and lower levels of protective high-density lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol. This study was actually published in the Journal of American medical association and while talking about the report Dr. Miriam Vos of Emory School of Medicine said that “Just like eating a high-fat diet can increase your levels of triglycerides and high cholesterol, eating sugar can also affect those same lipids”.
This study actually adds some more pressure on the US food companies to make their food healthier and this is a fact that many states of the world including New York and California have put quite high tax on the sweetened drinks in order to reduce the cost of treating obesity related diseases. This was all about the actions taken at governmental level but on a personal level, people can bring a very affective change if they control their desires of eating sugary products.
