We all know how dangerous refined sugar is. It can increase the potential risk of obesity, heart diseases, and even cancer. Refined sugar offers no nutritional value, but it consumes vital nutrients as it metabolizes. Moreover, the overconsumption of sugar can lead to an addiction, where the body craves for more sugar. Sugar also makes the body drowsy and feel lethargic hindering an individual’s daily activity efficiently.
