Imbalanced gut flora
Research shows that switching to a high-sugar diet can alter the composition of your gut flora within 24 hours. Imbalances in our gut flora can weaken immunity, impair digestion, increase inflammation and much more, so take care of it!
Heart disease
There’s a link between sugar consumption and your heart. In a study, the individuals who consumed 25% of their calories in the form of sugar were found to have double the risk of heart disease compared to those whose intake was 7%.
Increased risk of cancer
Sugar consumption has been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer and endometrial cancer, among others. Sugar also leads to obesity, which has been associated with a longer list of cancers. Try to reduce your sugar intake as much as you can!
