Sugar causes cardiovascular disease?!

Did you know that sugar is considered one of the causes of cardiovascular disease?

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, with approximately 18 million people worldwide dying from them each year, and these numbers are constantly increasing.

So, what can be done?

The solution to this problem lies not in enhancing the quality of medical care or seeking a magic pill, but rather in eliminating the root causes of the disease.

Supporting this claim is the fact that the Japanese are among the longest-living people on the planet. In 2020, the average life expectancy for Japanese men exceeded 81 years, and for women — 87 years. Notably, in 2017, the number of Japanese over 90 surpassed 2 million for the first time, reaching 2.31 million by 2019, with more than 71,000 of them over 100 years old..

An intriguing observation is the traditionally lower sugar consumption in Japan compared to many other countries.

Could it be that Japan’s impressive longevity numbers are attributed to their minimal sugar intake?

Recent data indicates that the average sugar consumption in Japan is 52 grams per person per day, aligning closely with the World Health Organization’s recommended limit of up to 50 grams of sugar per day.

So, to live longer and healthier, pay attention to your daily dose of sugar!
