What we do not know is the different dangers alcohol and sugar poses to human health, because when it comes to the danger of alcohol to humans, we can still say that its only those who can’t live without drinking alcohol that keeps their life on the line. Or those who has been addicted to it, maybe due to circumstances they are facing in life.
Am putting it this way because I for once does not drink alcohol no matter what ever problem am going through. I can always go for a glass of wine 🍷 when ever I feel like relaxing. So I prefer to use prayers in handling my situations as life will never be sweet at all times.
But when it comes to sugar, I see it as a different ball game. Why? Because practically everything we humans consumes comes with sugar which makes it so hard to deal with. The worst being that many of us are not aware of the most foods we consume that already has its own sugar and which is why we must try to avoid adding more sugar to them.
In my opinion to this question by #hiveleaners prompt , I will say that sugar should be paid attention to just like alcohol 🍺, drugs and other hard substances that has in one way or another affected human health. The government or the producers of sugar even while knowing that educating people on the dangers of constant consumption of sugar might affect sugar market, can still go ahead to create awareness of the dangers involved.
I mean just like the way the alcohol companies still keep warnings on their products of how dangerous alcohol 🍺 are when in excess, Cigarettes 🚬 companies keep warning ⚠️. Sugar companies should also do the same to enable many know that their product which is sugar can lead to bad health when taking in excess.
Sugar is one deadly ingredients we consume because its so sweet but the after effects is what many should be educated on. Although at a younger age , many believes that sugar is not so harmful since some of the sugar we consume in drinks like sodas 🥤 and others are energizers. But one thing to also note is that there are sugar in most of our foods like carbohydrates, beverages, baked foods and non natural juices. And these products are highly consumed in quantities without knowing the implications that it will result to as the years passes by.
And apart from how cautious the elderly should be in consumption of sugar or absolutely abstinence to avoid bad sugar level for diabetes and others, the younger ones should also be made to understand the dangers involved because many usually suffer from pile and other chronic diseases due to excessive sugar consumption maybe through soda, sweet, chocolates and even junk foods. So I feel its time attention is paid to sugar because it has become something so serious to look into.
In conclusion, I know many are always adamant when it comes to what they like eating, but the government and producers should still play their roll just like they have been doing with alcohol, hard drugs and cigarettes. Awareness teachers avoidance.
