Love sugar? A little treat here and there is fine, but excess can seriously damage your health.
From chocolate with coffee to afternoon cake or between-meal snacks, quick sugars feel unavoidable. Yet overdoing it triggers issues like weight gain, migraines, hormonal imbalances, and cavities. The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses moderation for optimal health.
Slow sugars in cereals, starches, and legumes support balanced nutrition when eaten sensibly. Fast sugars from candies, sodas, chocolates, and pastries harm health in excess. Hidden sugars sneak into processed foods like ketchup and sodas without us realizing.
The Food Agency (ANSM) advises adults to cap total sugars at 100g per day (excluding lactose and galactose) and limit to one sugary drink, opting for fruit juices instead.
