4. Sugar is food for pathogenic microorganisms and fungi, which means it supports the inflammatory process in the body and reduces immunity.
5. Fructose in excess, like glucose, destroys proteins. This leads to glycation, making the skin lose turgor, damaging blood vessels and therefore the functioning of organs. Atherosclerotic plaques form in places where vessels are damaged over time. As a result, stroke and heart attack occur.
