Читать книгу Sugar Addicts’ Diet - Nicki Waterman - Страница 50

A diet persistently high in sugar means blood-sugar levels that are constantly raised above normal levels. High sugar levels raise the levels of serum triglycerides (fat in the blood) and harmful very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) – both risk factors for atherosclerosis, or furring up of the arteries. High blood-sugar levels trigger the release of more insulin into the bloodstream, and insulin increases the risk of arteriosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels.
