It is said and estimated that the average American consumes in total more than 130 lbs (60 kg) of sugar each and every year of their lives.  On top of that with diets and preferences as they are this number is more than likely to even increase over the coming decades.   Imagine that.  However this sugar and sweetness may indeed be harmful to our minds and our brains.

Excess sugar can be converted by the body into saturated fat and fats, which is overall bad for your brain and your heart as well.   It has been noted medically that a high sugar diet can contribute to free radical activity and damage brain cell which of course will result over time in incremental and ongoing progressive memory loss and memory loss function and functioning. all of which more than contributes to the onslaught of memory loss.  Sugar also makes your body less likely to successfully fight off infections – that is reduce the functioning of your immune system and systems.    This of course will make you more likely and susceptible to bacterial and viral conditions that overall can reduce your quality and indeed your quantity of live.

How much sugar is excessive and too much ?   If one looks at the US dietary guidelines established by the US department of agriculture as a guide , then it can be said and noted that the average person should consume the equivalent of  no more than 10 teaspoons of sugar per a day.

Yet it an be said that most people have no idea what so ever of the amount of sugar they ingest each and every day of their lives.    It might be a good idea for you to run a daily diary of sugar ingestion.  You can easily calculate this by estimation according to charts and the product and nutritional listings on descriptions and packages of the products that you eat.
