 Excess sugar consumption puts your body in danger of many fatal conditions.It can have harmful effects on metabolism and contribute to all sorts of diseases on human body.

 Below are the top seven reasons why sugar should get the boot from your diet.

1.Insulin Resistance: When sugar enters the human body, insulin opens the door to allow sugar into the cells. However, when there are continuous sugar spikes, insulin becomes less effective. Sugar can not get into the cells and become “stuck” in the body, producing toxic effects that can lead to obesity and the threat of diabetes.

 2. Sugar is Bad For Your Teeth: sugars (like sucrose and high fructose corn syrup) contain a whole bunch of calories with NO essential nutrients.For this reason, they are called "empty" calories.Sugar is very bad for the teeth, because it provides easily digestible energy for the bad bacteria in the mouth .Sugar causes tooth decay by feeding the harmful bacterias in the mouth.

3.Liver Disease: A diet where sugar is high, is believed to exacerbate fatty liver disease. Too much sugar spikes insulin and drives fat into the liver cells, which causes inflammation and scarring, eventually causing the liver to become cirrhotic and damages it.

4. Because of Massive Dopamine Release in The Brain, Sugar is Highly Addictive

Sugar can be very addictive for a lot of people.Like abusive drugs, sugar causes a release of dopamine in the reward center of human brain .

The problem with sugar and many junk foods is that they can cause massive dopamine release in brain,much more than we get from foods found in nature .For this reason, people become strongly addicted to sugar and other junk foods .

5.High Blood Pressure: Normal nitric oxide levels keep blood vessels open and healthy. Too much sugar in diet decreases nitric oxide levels in blood, causing blood vessels to become narrow, which causes high blood pressure and an increased risk for cardiac disease.

6.Sugar is Leading Contributor to Obesity in Both Children and Adults

Those who consume too much sugar are more likely to become obese.The way sugar affects the brain and different kind of hormones is a recipe for fat gain disaster.

It leads to decreased satiety and can get people addicted so that they lose control over their sugar consumption.

Not surprisingly, people who consume the most sugar are most likely to become overweight or obese. This applies to all age groups from 8 to 80.

7.High Cholesterol: People who consume too much sugar are more likely to have lower levels of HDL  or good cholesterol; higher levels of LDL  or bad cholesterol; and higher levels of triglycerides or blood fats. This clogs up arteries and blood vessels which can lead to  heart disease.

                      Not surprisingly, many studies have found a strong statistical association between sugar consumption and the risk of heart disease.
