Sugar gives you heart disease.
And liver disease because IIRC The by-products of sugar are the same as alcohol.
Looked for a web page to confirm but couldn’t find one. Robert Lustig talked about it.
Specifically fructose (which is one half of sucrose, which is what we mostly think of as ‘sugar’ when cooking) is processed in the liver, and can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and a bunch of other effects: https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/abundance-of-fructose-not-good-for-the-liver-heart
Thanks.
Just to be clear: I think you mean can cause fatty liver disease just like alcohol
Yes?
Just heard it said in a Robert Lustig Video.
