This, of course, proved very difficult for the majority of people as most have a sweet tooth, thanks to all the food manufacturers who add sugar to their products because they want us to eat more of it!. The more sugar we have eaten over the years, the more our body craves it now.

Imagine that!<\/p>\n<p>100 grams is two times more than the recommended daily intake, which the World Health Organization designates to be 50 grams daily for people of normal weight.<\/p>\n<p>Eliminating sugar from your diet could save you from myriad health problems in the future. Here are ten reasons why you should consider dropping the white stuff altogether:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Sugar Is Linked To Depression<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sugar is on Prevention\u2019s list of 5 foods that cause depression &#8211; and for good reason. Multiple studies have suggested that there is a link between a diet rich in sugar and depression.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that the foods you eat don\u2019t just release their nutrients, sugars, and calories into your belly and thighs; they also send them up to your brain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Sugar Is Linked To Obesity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2014\u00a0 an alarming headline was published by a prominent UK newspaper that claimed, \u201csugar is the new tobacco.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Heath Service found that the link between sugar and obesity is indeed very real, and is caused because sugar is loaded with empty calories (energy) that your body stores for later days. Only, the later days never come and eventually all that built-up energy is turned into fat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Sugar Is Linked To High Blood Pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More and more American\u2019s are being diagnosed with high blood pressure, and Mayo Clinic suggest that a poor diet is one of the biggest risk factors.<\/p>\n<p>The more sugar you eat, the more your bad cholesterol levels surge, which in turn boosts your blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Sugar Increases Your Risk Of Heart Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We now know that the damage done to your heart is not down to fat as we\u2019ve been told for years but down to sugar. It doesn\u2019t matter how much you weigh, consuming more sugar just improves your chances of having a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Figures in the past have shown that people who consume 25% more sugar than everyone else have a stronger chance of dying of a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Sugar Is Addictive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While sugar is not classed as a drug, its effects are similar to heroin. For this reason, sugar is just as addictive as illegal drugs. They hijack the same neural pathways in your brain as heroin and cocaine and leave you craving more and more.<\/p>\n<p>Just like drugs, sugar can easily be abused.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related reading:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/sugar-detox-detox\/the-sugar-detox-diet-revisited\/\">The Sugar Detox Diet Revisited<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Sugar Is Linked To Fatty Liver Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sugar is largely composed of two simple types of sugars:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Fructose<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Glucose<\/p>\n<p>Fructose is very much the \u201cevil twin\u201d and heads immediately to your liver. Over time, too much sugar can cause a fatty liver, which, if left untreated, can lead to full-on liver disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related reading:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/will-a-liver-cleansing-diet-help-correct-a-fatty-liver\/\">Will a Liver Cleansing Diet Help Correct a Fatty Liver?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Sugar Is Linked To Diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No doubt, the biggest connection researchers have made is the one between sugar and diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes happens when your pancreas doesn\u2019t create enough insulin, which is the hormone we rely on to turn sugar into fuel or the cells become insensitive to it.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes as I\u2019m sure you know is a disease that causes a lot of complications unless carefully managed BUT it is totally preventable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Sugar Could Cause Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although tests are still at their tentative stage, there is some research that suggests sugar could cause certain cancers. <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org\/2017\/05\/15\/sugar-and-cancer-what-you-need-to-know\/\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cancer Research UK <\/span><\/a>state &#8220;there is an indirect link between cancer risk and sugar&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Sugar Rots Your Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although sugar is certainly not the sole reason for problems with teeth, it can certainly cause some pretty nasty damage to your molars. This is because it leaves behind a trail of debris in your teeth, which, over time, can lead to plaque, which, if left untreated , can lead to cavities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. You\u2019ll Feel Less Hungry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because sugar is so addictive, it just makes you want to eat more and more. It give you a boost initially but when it triggers insulin to bring the blood glucose back to normal it can actually make it drop too low and then you crave more sugar. This is a common yo-yo effect. Cutting it out from your diet will eventually normalize your appetite and you\u2019ll no longer feel like a bottomless pit of starvation.<br \/>\nReady to give it up?<\/p>\n<p>I completely understand that you want to eat foods that taste sweet and delicious. I was a sugar addict. I love sweet food myself but I learned to avoid it. I knew it wasn\u2019t doing me any good. I have learned to live without it and you can too.<br \/>\n<strong>My 7 Day Sugar Cleanse Program will show you how.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/7-day-sugar-detox-and-cleanse\/\">Click Here To Check It Out<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite some time ago we were told to cut back on salt.
