Sugar is undeniably one of the most important ingredients in our kitchen.
For our food to taste sweet, we rely on sugar for the taste.
With the recent global shortage of sugar, would the taste of our daily food be the same? From a different point of view, one may deduce that this shortage is actually a blessing in disguise.
Sugar is known to cause complications in our health if consumed excessively.
A long term consumption of sugar would cause tooth decay.
The bacteria in our mouth convert the sugar into acid, which would cause our tooth to decay.
When we mention that the consumption of sugar may cause diabetes, many would just brush it off because a high percentage of diabetes patients actually inherit this disease from their parents or grandparents.
However, the latent disease tends to trigger with a high consumption of sugar.
Diabetes would remain latent with low sugar consumption.
The rate of obesity in the world population is on a steady increase due to the amount of sugar in our daily food, especially when soft drinks are consumed on a daily basis.
Obesity increases a person's chances of contracting many other complications and diseases, namely stroke and heart attack.
Among the other health risks one may face due to high sugar consumption includes gout and the number one killer in the world, cancer.
With the consumption of every spoon of sugar, we are in fact putting our very lives at risk.
Let us take this opportunity to enjoy a healthy sugar-free life.
