In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the side effects of consuming too much sugar. Some of the well-known side effects of sugar include fatigue, brain fog, belly fat, carb cravings, and cavities.
Is there a difference between sugar and carbohydrates? A carbohydrate consists of sugar, fiber, and starch. Starches are called polysaccharides, meaning many sugars or multiple sugar molecules connected together. Starches raise blood sugar levels significantly more than sugar.
Starches like maltodextrin, modified food starch, and modified corn starch have a much higher glycemic index than sugar.
Here are 7 surprising signs that you’re consuming too much sugar:
7. Reduced collagen
Reduced collagen will result in loose, wrinkled skin and premature aging.
6. Chronic white tongue
Candida from too much sugar will cause you to have a white tongue. You won’t be able to get rid of it without eliminating sugar from the diet.
5. Chronic sinus problems
Most chronic sinus problems are caused by a fungus called Aspergillus that feeds on sugar.
4. Red or pink gums
Red or pink on your toothbrush after brushing could signify a mild case of scurvy or vitamin C deficiency. High sugar consumption blocks vitamin C.
3. Low testosterone
Low testosterone can cause erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and difficulty building muscle.
2. Susceptibility to infection
Too much sugar can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infection.
1. High adrenaline levels
Too much sugar damages the cell’s ability to make energy in the mitochondria. To compensate, the body produces more adrenaline.
