TEETHING PROBLEMS

An overactive sweet tooth might spell trouble for your mitochondria, the critical structures within each of your cells that produce energy. A team of researchers has found that surplus sugar in the diet can cause these mitochondria to become less efficient, reducing their energy output.6 The authors suggest that, over time, it may even be possible to notice these changes – like feeling fatigued or tiring more quickly. Seeing as the average adult consumes over double the recommended amount of sugar for men, the chances are you’ll benefit from reining in your intake.
