BEST DENTIST IN ARUMBAKKAM! Sugar can be found in all carbohydrates, even in foods that aren’t inherently sweet, like whole grains and vegetables. While consuming natural sugar in organic foods is okay–after all, they have essential fiber and minerals that the body needs–consuming too much added sugar is what can get you into trouble. SUGAR AND HEART: People who consumed 17-21% of their daily calories from added sugar had a 38% increased risk of dying from heart disease. SUGAR AND TEETH:Sugar that gets left behind on our teeth can damage enamel, which the body can’t repair. More so, with sugar comes bacteria that may lead to things like gingivitis and gum disease. As gums recede, teeth can become loose and unstable, and eventually may even fall out. SUGAR AND LIVER:While your liver needs some sugar to help make fat, too much refined sugar or high-fructose corn syrup may lead to a fatty buildup that can become liver disease.
