Sugar is killing us..

New research reveals that sugar's impact goes far beyond simple tantrums. It can trigger neuro-inflammation, potentially shrinking vital memory centers in developing brains. Even more concerning, excess sugar intake is linked to shortened telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA, accelerating cellular aging in kids. But not all sugars are created equal! The natural sugars found in whole fruits come packaged with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which slow down their absorption and mitigate the negative impacts seen with concentrated, processed sugars. These refined sugars, often hidden in unexpected places, are the primary culprits behind these damaging effects.
