HEART DISEASE RISK

Too much sugar can increase your blood pressure, which is a pathological pathway to heart disease. Also, excess sugar and the various types of sugars you ingest, like high-fructose corn syrup (which is found in juices, soda and fast foods) tend to be stored as fat around your organs. Even though your friend might have good skinny “six pack” genes, there could be a likelihood of high fatty deposits around his organs.
