You don't have to constantly stuff yourself with sweets or soda to have a sugar overload.
In fact, you may be consuming dangerous amounts of sugar every day without even realizing it.
From "healthy" breakfast cereals and fruit yogurts to ketchup, bread, and so-called "low-fat" snacks, hidden sugar is everywhere. And the average American eats over 17 teaspoons of sugar a day—more than double the recommended amount.
The American Heart Association advises:
Men: No more than 9 teaspoons (36 g) of added sugar per day.
Women: No more than 6 teaspoons (25 g).
But most of us far exceed this amount – and our bodies send loud, clear signals that we've overdosed on sugar.
Sugar doesn't just lead to weight gain or tooth decay.
When it enters your body daily, it disrupts your hormone balance, damages organs, ages your skin, and affects your mood.
