Sugar is a highly addictive “drug” that is present in almost any food you can think of, which is why it’s so difficult to avoid it. If you just can’t resist that lovely looking chocolate snack, you’re probably a sugar addict.

• Increases the risk of diabetes and other serious diseases;
• It can cause eczema and similar skin problems;
• Sugar has been identified as one of the culprits for cancer;
• Has a lot of calories with almost no nutritional value;
• Can cause heart problems, gallstones, arthritis and adrenal fatigue;
• Sugar can increase the serotonin levels in the body;
• Weakens the immune system;
• Reduces your energy levels.
