7 most harmful and dangerous sugary foods
Nougat and Turkish Delight. Eastern sweets are a favorite delicacy of many. However, despite the high sugar content, they are very poor at fighting hunger, while the risk of gaining extra pounds from the active use of such products is extremely high. Excessive amounts of nougat or Turkish delight in the diet can trigger diabetes or severe acne. These products are strictly contraindicated for people with pancreatitis. In addition, oriental sweets pose a certain danger because there are very few natural ingredients in modern products. They are being replaced by artificial additives, chemical flavors. An overabundance of this can negatively affect your well-being.
Any candy. The harm of such products lies, first of all, in the fact that such sweets can very easily injure the mucous membranes of the mouth, scratch the gums. Therefore, children should be given them with caution and make sure that the kids do not gnaw such candies, since it is not at all difficult to break teeth on the lollipops. These sweets contain a lot of artificial flavors and sugar. Due to the fact that they dissolve for a very long time, this attracts various pathogenic bacteria that can penetrate from the mouth into the body and cause various inflammations and painful conditions.
Chocolate bars. Such a delicacy, if you eat it very actively, can lead to problems with blood vessels and heart, to the development of pancreatic diseases, and to an increased risk of diabetes. In the composition of sweet bars, there is no fiber, there are practically no useful elements and vitamins. However, they are rich in fats and fast carbohydrates.

Toffee and fruit toffee. These treats are primarily harmful to the teeth. They very easily destroy tooth enamel, from a particularly sticky toffee, you can completely remain without fillings. Such sweet products create ideal conditions for the activity of harmful microorganisms in the oral cavity. Therefore, the risk of inflammation affecting the gums increases. In addition, microbes can enter the digestive tract and cause serious disruptions in their work. Butterscotch and toffee, including conditionally natural ones (fruit, berry), are very abundantly seasoned with sugar and flavoring agents. This negatively affects body weight, and can lead to obesity if such sweets are eaten in large quantities and on a regular basis.
Chewy marmalade. These sweet products contain not only a sea of sugar and specific flavors that can affect a person's well-being. They often contain citric acid, which has a destructive effect on tooth enamel. Excessive consumption of gummies inevitably leads to tooth decay and other dental problems.
