The US healthcare system is under financial pressure and some of this can be reduced by tackling preventable diseases, like diabetes and obesity. The previous message has been to lower fat in diet and to exercise but this has not reduced the epidemic. Emerging research has linked sugar to all types of chronic disease. Our food supply has been adulterated by added sugar. Consumers are confused by the terminology used on the package resulting in the consumption of around 90 lbs per year of added sugar. Biochemical science clearly outlines the dangers of added sugars as explained by doctors like Dr Robert Lustig and Dr. Joe Cohen. Consumers can control their health by understanding the risks of added sugars in simplified language instead of the convoluted terms on existing nutrition labels.
