In an interesting coincidence, i gave up chocolate this week. Thats the last of my addictions and bad habits done.
I sure am enjoying plain room temperature tap water as a special treat these days though 🥲
Sugar gives you heart disease.
And liver disease because IIRC The by-products of sugar are the same as alcohol.
Looked for a web page to confirm but couldn't find one. Robert Lustig talked about it.
Specifically fructose (which is one half of sucrose, which is what we mostly think of as 'sugar' when cooking) is processed in the liver, and can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and a bunch of other effects: https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/abundance-of-fructose-not-good-for-the-liver-heart
Thanks.
can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Just to be clear: I think you mean can cause fatty liver disease just like alcohol
Yes?
Just heard it said in a Robert Lustig Video.
He is professor emeritus of pediatrics in the division of endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where he specialized in neuroendocrinology and childhood obesity
