New research suggests the more one's energy comes from sugar, the higher the risk of cardiovascular disease.
A study released Monday offers even more evidence of the harmful health effects of sugar., published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that diets higher in free sugars — a category that includes sugar added to processed foods and sodas, as well as that found in fruit juice and syrups — raise one's risk of heart disease and stroke.
An author of the study, Cody Watling, a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, said the most common forms of sugar the study participants ate were"preserves and confectionary," with the latter category including cookies, sugary pastries and scones. Fruit juice, sugar-sweetened beverages and desserts were also common, he added.
By comparison, U.S. guidelines suggest that added sugars should make up no more than 10% of one's daily calories. Watling said guidelines about sugar intake rely on percentages of total energy because setting a limit in grams does not consider the variations in people’s dietary needs. A large body of previous research has also found health benefits associated with fiber consumption, as well as risks linked to diets high in sugar. The authors of the new study said their research builds on the existing evidence by including sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice in the analysis, rather than looking solely at added sugars.
