Ah sugar- the ultimate temptress, we know she's bad for us oh, buh how can we resist her charm! Like a siren's song it lures us with her comforting presence and sweet songs, making us forget the dangers it comes with. Sugar a sweet tasting carbohydrates has become an ubiquitous part of our modern day diets. However it's been noted that excessive sugar has contributed a whole lot to health issues in our society of today.
I just remembered a line of a poem I wrote about sugar here it is;
Oh sugar you sly thing, like a thief you sneaked into our lives.
Like a bad boyfriend you promised us the world but delivered only trouble… 😂😂

Indeed consumption of sugar comes with so many risks. Firstly let's talk about it effects on health;
Sugar is an elementary contributor to weight gain and obesity. All this comes from accumulation of excess calories and resulting in weight gain , Aldo increasing the risk of obesity related diseases like diabetes, cancers and heart diseases.
Also not forgetting the most detrimental effect of sugar on dental health, there are some bacterias found in the mouth cavities. This bacteria tends to feed on them producing acids that can destroy the enamels causing tooth decay and other dental complications.

Furthermore, sugar can be an additive leading to dependence and excessive consumption, thereby activating the brain reward center to releasing feel-good chemicals like dopamine making us feel better and content. No wonder we can't get better of her!!. Rendering us helpless like sailor's lured to their doom by siren's song. Thou sugar is also known to be ancient, it was mostly used by the Egyptian and china as a form of currency. Aside sis sugar is also known to be a natural preservative.
But minus all this oh sugar your consequences are no laughing matter. So dear sugar we know you are too tasty buh also know that you're trouble. So please allow us enjoy you in moderation shall we? and our body(teeth) shall thank us😂.
