Sugar: Sweet With a Bitter Aftertaste (Credit Suisse Research)

Published on 21 Oct 2013
Sugar may be sweet, but excess consumption leaves a bitter aftertaste: millions of people worldwide are affected by type II diabetes or obesity, costing the global healthcare system billions of dollars every year. As the Credit Suisse Research Institute's 2013 study "Sugar: Consumption at a Crossroad" found, close to 90 percent of general practitioners in the US, Europe and Asia believe excess sugar consumption is linked to the sharp growth in these health problems.

    Sugar and now high fructose corn syrup is a 'killer.' Well I have seen it referred to as that. We do not need it in the huge quantities we are consuming. It's in everything. More of us need to say no.
    Good link, thank you.

    90 percent that is high, but will we see any improvement if the GP's know

    Given that sugar is half glucose, why won't the media declare say white bread and bagels to be junk food along with white rice, but a pizza, or a hamburger is junk food, even though a hamburger with cheese has fewer carbs than say a bagel depending on the bun.

    The bottom line is that glucose is glucose, too much carbs stretch the pancreas
