Your body goes through complex changes after ditching normal added sugar intake.

1) Consuming added sugar may create an increased desire to eat even more sugar, and other addictive foods, which may then lead to weight gain. Studies show that soft drink consumption is a main cause of obesity, and research has found that adolescents who reduced their intake of added sugar drinks had significant decreases in their body weight and BMI. Therefore, cutting back on added sugars can reduce your risk of weight gain.

2) An analysis of multiple studies from the journal Circulation found evidence linking diets with high amounts of added sugars to lower micronutrient intake. Other studies show that maintaining a high simple sugar intake can lead to INFLAMMATION – which may further damage your body’s nutrient absorption.

3) Simple sugars feed the bacteria that live within the plaque on your teeth. That interaction creates acids which can eat away at the enamel of your teeth – potentially leading to cavities and tooth decay. Other studies show that malnutrition from consuming too many high sugar foods over complex carbohydrates can increase the risk of oral cancer and oral infectious diseases.

4) High sugar intake can raise blood pressure and increase chronic inflammation – both of which are linked to a heightened risk of heart disease. Eating high amounts of simple sugars also increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which can raise your risk of multiple cardiovascular issues.

5) There is ample evidence linking diets high in simple sugars, especially FRUCTOSE – largely found in sugary drinks – with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. But simply cutting out simple sugars, and even reducing your overall carbohydrate intake, can help to improve your diabetes management. Studies show that sticking to a low-sugar diet can improve glycemic control while aiding weight loss for type 2 diabetics.
