Until sugar?


That's right. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that, as a diet rich in fat can increase levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, eating sugar can also affect rates of lipids. For the study, we analyzed the levels of lipids in the blood by more than six thousand adult men and women. The researchers found that people who consumed more sugar were more likely to have cardiovascular disease. Scientists are not sure that this process is involved in sugar binding with cholesterol, because until today, what we knew was the association between sugar consumption and diabetes. In the study, the largest consumer group ate an average of 46 teaspoons of sugar "hidden" in food per day. The lowest consumption group ate an average of only about three teaspoons daily.
