SUGAR KILLS BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK
Sugar has become perhaps our biggest dietary villain. It’s linked to virtually all the biggest killers that plague Americans: obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes… The list goes on and on.

Most of us think we know why sugar is harmful: It is packed with empty calories. It makes us fat while providing no nutrition. But new research shows there’s another way sugar damages our bodies and cuts our lives short.
The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Researchers fed fruit flies a high-sugar diet.
As with people, flies that eat a lot of sugar become fat, diabetic, and die young. But Dr. Helena Cochemé said the researchers discovered a new way sugar is harmful. She’s the principal investigator of the study.
The scientists found that the excess sugar caused the flies to accumulate uric acid. It’s a waste product. Excess uric acid damaged the flies’ kidneys and it does the same to humans. It also causes the chronic inflammation that leads to gout.
