Sugar

Pretty much everyone agrees that sugar is unhealthy when consumed in excess.

But many people still believe that it is only bad because it supplies empty calories.

Well… nothing could be farther from the truth.

When consumed in excess, sugar can cause severe metabolic problems (85, 86).

Many experts now believe that sugar may be driving of some of the world’s biggest killers… including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer (87, 88, 89, 90).

Although sugar is fine in small amounts (especially for those who are physically active and metabolically healthy), it can be a complete disaster when consumed in excess.
