“After eating a lot of sweet food”… Pancreatic cancer, knowingly or unknowingly? Serious Illness 9: Nate News

You may have heard that you should reduce your intake of bad fats, such as saturated fat and trans fat, for your health. However, what has a more negative effect on the body than these bad fats is excessive intake of sugar.

In 1957, 67 years ago, Professor John Yudkin of King’s College London argued that the main cause of heart disease and other chronic diseases was not fat but sugar.

So what happens when you eat a lot of sugar? Based on data from the American Internet media outlet ‘Business Insider’, we looked into diseases that occur when consuming too much sugar.

diabetes=Currently, in the United States, approximately 25 million people, or 8.3% of the population, suffer from diabetes. According to the results of a study conducted on about 50,000 American women, the risk of diabetes significantly increased when drinking a lot of sugary drinks such as carbonated drinks, iced tea with sugar, and energy drinks. Several studies have shown that carbonated drinks high in sugar are related to the development of type 2 diabetes.

obesity=There is a study showing that if you drink one can of soda every day, you will gain 15 pounds (approximately 6.8 kg) in weight within a year. In particular, carbonated drinks were found to be more likely to cause obesity than any other sweet food.

pancreatic cancer=Several studies have shown that foods high in sugar increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, which is considered the most dangerous cancer. This is because foods high in sugar are associated with obesity and diabetes, which can cause pancreatic cancer.

dementia=Obesity and diabetes are risk factors for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common degenerative brain disease that causes dementia. It’s not surprising that excessive sugar consumption is linked to cognitive decline. One study found that mice that consumed a lot of sugar and fat experienced slower emotional arousal and memory problems.

high blood pressure=High blood pressure can occur not only when you eat a lot of salty food, but also when you eat a lot of sugar. In a study of 4,500 adults who had no symptoms of high blood pressure, it was found that those who consumed more than 74 g of sugar daily had a significantly increased risk of high blood pressure.

liver failure= Consuming too much fructose can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If fat accumulates in the liver, it can worsen into liver failure. Liver failure refers to a condition in which liver disease progresses due to various causes and the liver’s synthesis and detoxification functions are reduced.

kidney disease= A study of over 9,000 people found that drinking more than two cans of carbonated drinks a day can damage the kidneys. In rat experiments, it was found that when high-sugar foods were consumed, kidneys grew larger and various problems occurred in their function.

heart disease=The number one cause of death in the United States is heart disease. Smoking and sitting habits for long periods of time have been considered the main causes of heart disease. However, recently, excessive sugar intake has also been cited as a cause. This is because diabetes and obesity, which are risk factors for heart disease, are associated with excessive sugar intake.

ventilation= This is a disease in which urate crystals accumulate in the cartilage, tendons, and surrounding tissues of joints as the concentration of uric acid in the blood increases. It causes inflammation in the joints and causes extreme pain. Uric acid is a by-product produced during fructose metabolism. Studies have shown that excessive sugar intake is a factor that increases the risk of gout.
