#3 You Can End Up Shortening Your Life
No, we’re not the sugar police and aren’t saying that you should never enjoy something sweet ever again in your life. But what we are saying is that you need to have some balance in the way in which you eat, with the occasional guilty pleasure and indulging moments; you cannot go to an event and then turn down the cake; that’s just rude (plus that, who doesn’t like the occasional dessert?)
But making a habit out of eating too much sugar every day will end up shortening your life way more than you would expect. Studies have shown that if you end up drinking a 20-ounce soda, which has been sweetened artificially, every day, it would amount to 4.6 years of cell aging (which has been linked to a shorter human life)! It may not sound so impressive to you, but when you put it into perspective that it does the same damage to your cells that smoking does, it sounds a bit dire.
