Sugar Increases the Risk for Heart Disease
The average
American consumes 22 tsp of sugar daily.
Recommended maximum intakes are 6 tsp for women and 9 tsp for men. Excess sugar increases blood pressure, raises
your chances of developing diabetes, lowers HDL cholesterol, and raises your
risk of dying from heart disease by 38%.
It takes 12,500 steps per day to cancel out two 20 ounce sodas.
