http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2014/02/0 ... ?hpt=hp_c2In recent years, sugar - more so than fat - has been receiving the bulk of the blame for our deteriorating health.
Most of us know we consume more sugar than we should. Let's be honest, it's hard not to.
The (new) bad news is that sugar does more damage to our bodies than we originally thought. It was once considered to be just another marker for an unhealthy diet and obesity. Now sugar is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, as well as many other chronic diseases, according a study published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
“Sugar has adverse health effects above any purported role as ‘empty calories’ promoting obesity,” writes Laura Schmidt, a professor of health policy in the School of Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco, in an accompanying editorial. “Too much sugar doesn’t just make us fat; it can also make us sick.”
I read through this knowing that for most people this is likely true yet struck by the fact I eat and drink plenty of sugary and salty products. Heck I drink a six pack or more of Mountain Dew daily, yet I am thin as a rail, so much so that many people assume I must have some sort of speed addiction or something. I am now over fifty and feel just fine. Can't remember the last time I saw a doctor for anything other than broken bones and such. I can only assume that like Skye on shield I must be some kind of alien.
Has anyone got GH-325?
