Sugar consumption is linked with larger fat deposits around the heart and in the abdomen, which are risky for health. That’s the finding of a study published today in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
“When we consume too much sugar the excess is converted to fat and stored,” said study author Ms. So Yun Yi, a PhD student at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. “This fat tissue located around the heart and in the abdomen releases chemicals into the body which can be harmful to health. Our results support limiting added sugar intake.”
Excess sugar consumption is a worldwide problem. The six countries with the highest sales of sugary drinks per capita are Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, the US, and Saudi Arabia. The demand for sugar is expected to increase in Asia, Africa, and Russia.
