How many times a day are you craving candy? A startling new survey shows that the more the sweets, the higher the chances of developing heart disease as you get older! Maybe cutting back on the tasty treats isn\’t a bad idea after all.

As per the new study, continually adding more sugar to one\’s daily diet, drastically increases the risk factors for heart disease. Higher levels of triglycerides in the blood stream than deemed healthy, and subsequent lower levels of HDL or \’good cholesterol\’, play havoc with the internal balance of the body.

As most of us know, sugar is a pretty high contributor to an individual\’s daily calorie intake. But, when 6000 willing participants were put to the test, the ensuing result of 16 percent was staggering.

Care to venture a guess on how much sugar is consumed by a dedicated sweet eater every day? The top rung of the ladder included adults with 46 teaspoonfuls of sugar in a single day while the lower rung sang a sad tune of merely 3 teaspoonfuls.

Now all fruits and vegetables come with natural sugars. These are easily breakable during digestion and thus cause no harm to the body. Sugars found in processed food and preservatives must thus be taken only in limited quantities, 9 teaspoons for men and 6 for women.

It\’s about time I brought a few shocking truths to your notice. A typical carbonated soft drink will have 200 calories in a 16-ounce serving, and all of those calories come from sugar. Makes you want to drop that can of soda right? Let us hope food and beverage producers take a responsible stand on the issue and cut down sugar levels in processed food, thus preventing obesity and heart disease. Some states have taken the first step by imposing a sales tax on the purchase of soft drinks.

Beverage companies attract youngsters and adults alike by sweetening their drinks. These being unnatural sugars are extremely harmful to the body. Imagine having to pay a half-cent tax for that sweet sip. Sure leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, doesn\’t it. An educated guess puts soft drink consumption at a mere 40 gallons annually, as opposed to 50 gallons, if the above tax were in place.

Heart disease is inevitable in a high calorie diet as we all know. But recent studies conducted on the negative effects of added sugar in large quantities, show a rise in blood pressure, and increased occurrence of diabetes and stroke. It would serve us well to cut back on the sugary treats and stay healthy.
