Sugar Does More Than Just Make Us Fat
We seem to have a love hate relationship with sugar. Of course, we love how it tastes.. but we hate how it makes us fat.
Now there's another reason to cut back on sugar. Eating a lot of it can also increase your risk of heart disease.
Researchers say eating too much sugar is comparable to eating a high-fat diet because sugar, like fat, can raise triglyceride levels and lower levels of the good cholesterol known as HDL.
In fact, the study found that people who consumed a diet high in sugar had lowered their HDL an average by 20 percent.
So cut back on sugar. It will help you lose weight and stay heart healthy.
