Did you know that research has discovered that the more sugar we eat increases the risk of having high levels of unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride and low levels of the good cholesterol. When I talk to people about the sugar in their diets they always are quick to tell me that they don't eat a lot of sugar but as we speak further about their food choices it seems that while they may not be putting sugar in or on their food, they seem to forget about the hidden sugars in things like drinks, breakfast cereals, fruit flavoured yogurts and processed foods. A breakfast cereal with 16 grams of sugar per serving has about 4 teaspoons!!!
So it's time we all became more sugar aware..read the labels, look for hidden sugars - anything added ending in -ose or the word syrup means added sugar.
And watch out for the artificial sweeteners too! They can have just as bad effects on the body as sugar!!
And if you want help in lowering your cholesterol levels through reducing the sugar in your food choices and increasing your exercise, see FAT-SCRAP for more information.
