Thats about 20 percent more than that in 2010. While this may be good for the sugar industry, it is not good for the heart. Sugar is close to heart disease. Dr. Vos shows eating a lot of sugar can make one fat. And that may bring the chance for heart disease. Eating sugar can also do harm to your health. The researchers studied more than 6,000 adults for at least six years. According to the amount of sugar they ate every day, the volunteers were divided into five groups. The highest group ate an average of 46 teaspoons of sugar. The lowest group ate only about three teaspoons. “We found that people who ate more added sugar are more likely to have heart disease,” said Dr. Vos. The researchers say if people want to be far away from heart disease, they should be more aware of how much sugar is in their food, and put it less, if possible. And most American women should not eat more than 100 calories of sugar every day; most men, no more than 150 calories. Soft drinks are the number one for people to eat sugar in the American diet.47.
