What health issues are associated to eating excess sugar?

There is the obvious disease- type two diabetes, that is closely linked to over consumption of sugar. Sugar causes inflammation in the body. Inflammation is associated with everything from acne, and wrinkles, to arthritis, and heart disease.

If you think that you have a problem with sugar, you probably do. Slowly eliminating sugar from your diet. Get used to the taste of the natural sweetness found in nature. This is the best strategy to a sugar free or low sugar diet.

What about gum chewing?

Besides the sugar in gum being damaging to the teeth there is another harmful problem to consider and that is: “teeth and jaws weren’t designed for more than a few minutes of solid chewing per day-far less than the two hours clocked in daily by hardcore gum chewers. All this chewing results in inordinate wear on the jawbone, gum tissue and lower molars, and can change the alignment of the jaws” says Michael Elsohn, D.D.S., in the Medical Tribune.
