Читать книгу Sugar Addicts’ Diet - Nicki Waterman - Страница 42

You’d be hard-pressed to find a doctor who’ll say a diet high in sugar is a good thing and doesn’t increase your risk of putting on weight. The problem is that high sugar consumption coupled with increasingly low activity levels (as we now have in the UK) equals weight gain. Recent research published in the British Medical Journal found that when children avoided cans of pop, obesity levels fell, but it rose among those who kept on drinking them. Excess sugar consumption can increase insulin levels, leading to overweight and obesity plus an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and other conditions we’ll tell you about in this chapter.
