77. Sugar and cause dyspepsia (indigestion). 

78. Sugar can increase your risk of getting gout. 

79. The ingestion of sugar can increase the levels of glucose in an oral

high-sugar diets compared to low sugar diets. 

81 Sugar increases bacterial fermentation in the colon. 

82. Sugar increases the risk of colon cancer in women. 

83. There is a greater risk for Chron’s disease with people who have a 
high intake of sugar. 

84. Sugar can cause platelet adhesiveness.



85. Sugar can cause hormonal imbalance. 

86. Sugar can lead to the formation of kidney stones. 

87. Sugar can lead to the hypothalamus to become highly sensitive to a 
large variety of stimuli. 

88. Sugar can lead to dizziness. 

89. High sucrose diet significantly increases serum insulin. 

90. High sucrose diets of subjects with peripheral vascular disease 
significantly increases platelet adhesion. 

91. High sugar diet can lead to biliary tract cancer. 
> 
92. High sugar diets tend to be lower in antioxidant micro nutrients. 

93. High sugar consumption of pregnant adolescents is associated with a 
twofold increased risk for delivering a small-for- gestational-age (SGA) 
infant. 

94. High sugar consumption can lead to substantial decrease in gestation 
duration among adolescents with high sugar diets. 



95. Sugar slows food’s travel time through the gastrointestinal tract. 

96. Sugar increases the concentration of bile acids in stools and 
bacterial enzymes in the colon can modify bile to produce cancer-causing 
compounds and colon cancer. 

97. Sugar is associated with a substantial decrease in normal time of 
gestation among adolescents. 

98. Sugar can cause a depletion in chromium which is tied to the 
development and progression of nearsightedness. 

99. Sugar can be a risk factor of gallbladder cancer. 

100. Sugar is an addictive substance.

102. Sugar can exacerbate PMS. 

103. Sugar suppresses lymphocytes. 

104. Decrease in sugar can increase emotional stability. 



105. The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream

children. 

107. Sugar can worsen the symptoms of children with attention deficit 
disorder (ADD). 

108. The sugar in chewing gum can cause dental caries.
