“Free Sugar” Intake Increases the Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke
It is common
knowledge that high sugar intake imposes deleterious impacts on health. A
recent study has depicted an association between a sugary diet and heart
disease and stroke.
Sugary diets could be
correlated with cardiovascular disease occurrences and higher triglyceride
concentrations. A study published in BMC
Medicine analyzed the dietary data of over 110,000 adults over
37 years of age for nine years. The findings depicted that with every 5%
increase in total long-term ‘free sugar’ intake, the heart disease risk
escalated by 6% while the risk for stroke rose by 10%.
On the other hand, fiber intake was shown to have the opposite effect on
the risk of cardiovascular disease.
