 The Impact of free sugar 

             InHuman Health 

 Specifically Obesity ,Diabetes

and cardiovascular disease,cognition and mood

Non Communicable diseases are chronic and presentable 

Conditions such as  diabetes ,kidney disease ,cancer and mental 

Health disorders.

 NcDs accounts around 74%of deaths globally and place an enormous financial 

Burden on health care services and households ,

 Lifestyle style factors such as weight diet physical activity,are

Major major contributing factors to preventable disease.

     Obesity is an increasing global health concern occuring in

13% of the world population and is considered a major risk 

Factor NCDs morbidity and reduced quality of lifestyle changes 

Such as improved diet for prevention of Obesity ,diabetes ,

Heart disease and cognitive decline .

Studies investing the impact of sugar consumption on human health 

Have ongoing since mid 20th century.

Excessive Sugar Consumption has been 

Implicated in obesity , metabolic 

Disorders diabetes cardiovascular disease ,Cancer depression 

,and cognitive impairment.

         Trends in  sugar consumption 

The association of fat with cardiovascular disease and Obesity

 in the mid to late

20 th century let to the reduction in fat consumption and an increase in carbohydrates 

and refined sugars  .High -fructose corn syrup accounted for less than

1%.   Of caloric sweetners in 1970s but  increased to 42%. By 2000.

          Estimated total sugar intake between 1977 to 1998

Increased from 235 to 318 Cal kal per day.

  According to food availability data ,added sugars and sweetners 

Reached peak of 69kg per person per year in USA in 1999.

These changes in diet coincided with dramatic rise in obesity 

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Added sugars refer to sugars that are added

In food preparation or manufacturing ,such as glucose and Fructose 

,sucrose (asugar molecule made from glucose and fructose combined)

And hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (high fructose corn syrup)

  Majority of research conducted has found a positive asoociation 

   Between sugars particularly fructose and SSB( Sugar Sweetened Beverages)

consumption and Risk for Type 2diabetes.

       Several animal human studies  have observed impaired 

Insulin signling and increased fasting glucose and insulin resulting 

From SSB consumption .

The association has been particularly evidence in women but
