By the way, early wrinkles also appear from an excess of sweets in the diet.
The presence of a large amount of simple sugars in the blood leads to a weakening of the walls of blood vessels and a decrease in their elasticity, and there it is not far from strokes-heart attacks, you should not forget about bad cholesterol either.
In addition to sugar and fats, sweets contain various fragrances, flavor enhancers, flavors, etc., and it is rather difficult to predict how these substances will affect the body.
Eating sugary foods leads to a violation of the acid-base balance in the mouth. Sugar promotes the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity and, consequently, problems with their teeth and gums in the offing.
