In addition to throwing off the body's homeostasis, excess
sugar may result in a number of other significant
consequences. The following is a listing of some of sugar's
metabolic consequences from a variety of medical journals and
other scientific publications.

1. Sugar can suppress the immune system.
2. Sugar can upset the body's mineral balance.
3. Sugar can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, concentration
difficulties, and crankiness in children.
4. Sugar can cause drowsiness and decreased activity in
children.
5. Sugar can adversely affect children's school grades.
6. Sugar can produce a significant rise in triglycerides.
7. Sugar contributes to a weakened defense against bacterial
infection.
8. Sugar can cause kidney damage.
9. Sugar can reduce helpful high density cholesterol (HDLs).
10. Sugar can promote an elevation of harmful
cholesterol (LDLs).
11. Sugar may lead to chromium deficiency.
12. Sugar can cause copper deficiency.
13. Sugar interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium.
14. Sugar may lead to cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostate,
and rectum.

women.
16. Sugar can be a risk factor in gall bladder cancer.
17. Sugar can increase fasting levels of blood glucose.
18. Sugar can weaken eyesight.

54. Sugar can cause cardiovascular disease.
55. Sugar can impair the structure of DNA.
56. Sugar can cause cataracts.
57. Sugar can cause emphysema.
58. Sugar can cause atherosclerosis.
59. Sugar can cause free radical formation in the bloodstream.
60. Sugar lowers the enzymes' ability to function.
61. Sugar can cause loss of tissue elasticity and function.
62. Sugar can cause liver cells to divide, increasing the size
of the liver.
63. Sugar can increase the amount of fat in the liver.
64. Sugar can increase kidney size and produce pathological
changes in the kidney.

high-sugar diets compared to low sugar diets.
75. Sugar increases bacterial fermentation in the colon.

increases risk of blood clots.
78. Sugar can increase the risk of Alzheimer Disease.

That kind of generalization is very misleading. All of the
80 items on the list should be changed from "sugar" to
"excess sugar".

The title should be changed from "sugar can ruin......" to
"excess sugar can ruin......"

The leading paragraph does mention "excess sugar" but then it
goes on to state that "sugar can" which is so misleading that
it means very little.

So perhaps you'll be so kind as to tell us what the *optimum
intake* of sugar is?

Where does 'excess' start?

What is essential about sugar? Is there an 'RDA'?

And what are the actual benefits of sugar consumed at less
than the 'excess' amount?

Sugar is a carbohydrate. But not the only carbohydrate.
Here is one listing of RDA's for some nutrients. Hope this
will enable you to calculate answers to your questions
regarding sugar. Also bear in mind that there are various
sugars out there.

Nothing.

RDA = ZERO.

Great. In other words, there's no reason to eat sugar *at
all*, and thus your notion of something called 'excess sugar'
is just a pro-industry smokescreen. Thanks for proving it.
