A study found, excessive consumption of fructose (one type of sugar) causes increased abdominal fat that increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

3. Sugar kills silently
A 2008 study revealed that excessive fructose consumption was associated with an increased risk of leptin resistance conditions. Leptin is a hormone that tells the brain if the stomach is full. If the body has leptin resistance, then the brain will not feel satisfied even though the body is already full. As a result, we can not stop the desire to eat. In the long run this is certainly causing obesity. It happens slowly, so people often unknowingly have experienced it.

4. Sugar feeds cancer cells
Every human is at risk of cancer because it has cancer cells in its body. However, the body has its own mechanism to kill cancer cells so that the cell does not necessarily develop into a deadly cancer. Unfortunately, excessive sugar consumption will damage the mechanism. In addition, a recent study revealed that sugar is a good nutrient for cancer cells to thrive.

Sugar is also additive so there may be a term for sugar addiction. Unfortunately, this sugar addiction can be genetically inherited, as it involves changes in the ghrelin hormone. Ghrelin is a hormone that tells the brain when the body is hungry. However, changes in this hormone will result in the body hungry and want to eat continuously.

6. Sugar and alcohol have similar toxic effects
A study in the journal Nature indicates that sugar can be as dangerous as alcohol. 
The study shows, excessive consumption of fructose and glucose provides toxic 
effects on the liver. This effect is also almost the same as that given by alcohol.

Sugar is known to accelerate the process of cell aging, as well as brain cells. 
So by consuming a lot of sugar, brain cells tend to decrease function faster.
 
8. Sugar often hides on food "without sugar"
Reduced sugar is not just by reducing sweet foods like candy, cookies, biscuits, 
and so on, because actually there are also foods that are considered sugarless 
but it contains a lot of sugar. For example ketchup, bread, crackers, and others.
 
9. Sweet drinks may shorten life
A 2013 study estimated that there were 180,000 deaths worldwide due to 
consumption of sugary drinks. The researchers concluded, the death may be 
due to the association of sweet drinks with risks such as diabetes, heart disease, 
and cancer.
 
10. Sugar makes fat
