Although we know that eating too much sugar is not good for our waistline, did you know that it also increases your risk for cardiovascular disease?
A new study published in the April 21, 2010 online issue of JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association, says these added sugars could be a contributing factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Sugars/sweeteners are added to food during manufacturing to increase palatability -- yet have no nutritional value. There’s been a 50% jump in added sugar consumption in past 30 years.
This study shows that reducing added sugar consumption equates to 23% higher HDL-C levels (good cholesterol), 8%-10% lower triglyceride levels and 6% lower LDL-C levels (bad cholesterol).
