Sugar Intake and Health
#Sugar, #Table sugar, #Blood sugar, #Obesity, #Carbohydrates, #Simple sugars, #Diabetes prevention, #Diet
Simple sugars, such as table sugar, need little digestion and are absorbed into the bloodstream quickly, which can cause blood sugar to rise sharply. Excessive intake raises the risk of obesity and metabolic disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting free sugars to less than 10% of daily energy intake and suggests a further reduction to less than 5% for additional health benefits. Free sugars include added sugars and sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juices.2026-06-26

It occurs more often in adolescents and older adults, and caution is needed because injuries can occur when a person falls. Because there are many possible causes, if syncope occurs, please consult a medical specialist to identify the exact cause.2026-06-26
