The science behind sugar addiction and its impact on your health

Excess sugar is stored as fat. Cutting sugar can lead to significant weight loss without extreme calorie restriction.

Inflammation

Sugar causes chronic inflammation throughout the body, contributing to joint pain, skin issues, and digestive problems.
