how much sugar do you think you consume in  an average year now i did another video on  

this topic but i wanted to emphasize a couple  additional points now depending on your age  

if you’re between one and a half years old  to three you consume about 36 grams of added  

sugar per day that comes out to nine teaspoons  of sugar every single day if you’re a teenager  

you consume about 74 grams that’s 18.5 teaspoons  per day that’s added sugar if you’re a little  

bit older maybe you have a little less than this  now the american diabetes association said that  

if you are between the ages of 2 and  18 you need to be consuming less than  

25 grams of sugar every day that’s six teaspoons  of sugar every single day so you want to keep your  

sugar under six teaspoons of added sugar  well guess what guys this is way way too  

high especially since the average person does  not understand that all carbohydrates turn into  

sugar in the body except fiber as in the fiber in  vegetables which is not very sweet so if you’re  

consuming vegetables it’s not going to spike  your blood sugars but all these other foods  

will and i’m talking about the breads the pastas  the cereal the crackers the biscuits the waffles  

etc etc so if we calculate all of those  carbohydrates as being your sugar amount between  

225 grams and 325 grams let’s take an average  of 275 grams every single day okay of sugar  

now this comes out to a little more than a half  a pound 0.6 pounds of sugar every single day  

or 0.27 kilograms but if we look at this over  a course of a year that comes out to 219 pounds  

of sugar that is crazy or 98.9 kilograms of sugar  completely and utterly insane so what happens to  

your body when you consume so much sugar every  single day well excess sugar is toxic to your body  

it’s called gluco-toxicity it creates all sorts  of problems which we will get into in a second  

but a question that a lot of people want to know  is listen i went to get my blood sugar tested it  

was normal i consume the average diet which is  a lot of sugar yet my blood sugars are normal so  

why is that a problem well what you need to know  is that what’s happening with all that sugar it’s  

being quickly routed out of the blood through this  hormone called insulin so the purpose of insulin  

is to remove excess amount of sugar out of the  blood how much excess anything more than one  

teaspoon of sugar okay is removed from the blood  very quickly through the help of insulin why  

because it’s toxic but guess what the more sugar  you eat the more insulin that’s going to be pumped  

out and insulin is also toxic to your body just do  a little research on hyperinsulinemia and you’ll  

find out all the complications the symptoms that  are created from high levels of insulin are almost  

identical to the symptoms created from high levels  of sugar so the chronic exposure of both sugar and  

insulin on your tissues creates a lot of problems  even before you become a diabetic which by the way  

does take some years to develop because  your body is constantly pumping out insulin  

to keep your blood sugars normal another question  that people want to know is where is that sugar  

going well it’s being converted into fat in the  liver around the organs and through your belly  

if you happen to see anyone walking around  with a belly then you know that they have  

excess amounts of insulin and definitely excess  sugar in their diet now let’s take a look at

a few problems just some slight minor problems  with this excessive amount of glucose and  

insulin it’s going to affect the heart it  can create clotting which leads to strokes  

and heart attacks it can stiffen the  arteries causing high blood pressure  

it can cause angina a lot of different issues  with the heart it can affect your teeth and the  

need for braces if your child is consuming a lot  of sugar early on simply because simply because of  

how sugar affects the dental malformations the  digestions are they’re probably going to need  

braces it really affects the brain in that it can  create add brain fog moodiness depression anxiety  

and affect your cognitive function memory focus  and concentration it can affect your hormones  

on a huge scale one being pcos which is  high levels of androgen because high insulin  

increases androgens so if you’re female  you get facial hair you have hair loss you  

get a stomach and you get a deeper voice it  creates inflammatory conditions of your skin  

acne definitely cystic acne and your skin is not  going to look very good it alters the bacteria  

throughout the body including the bacteria  in your mouth giving you bad breath it’s  

highly inflammatory in your joints so you  start noticing stiffness and pain bursitis  

tendinitis and definitely arthritis if you  play sports your endurance is going to be a lot  

less you’re definitely going to be noticed fatigue  and tiredness of the day especially after you eat  

and you’ll definitely start getting up through  the night as you get older because your bladder  

will be more active at night than during the day  you may need glasses to see because the blood  

sugars destroy the eye at many different  levels the microvasculature of the nerves  

cataracts glaucoma and eventually a diabetic  neuropathy and of course the classic belly fat  

is the result of that because the liver is filling  up with fat spilling over around the organs in  

your midsection eventually nerve pain tingling  burning in the bottom of your feet or the hands  

and there’s many additional symptoms so i think  you get the point the average person is just off  

the charts they may only consider this added  sugar as being their their sugar but it really  

includes a lot of other carbohydrates so share  this video with your friends and family member so  

they can increase their awareness on what they  might be doing to their body unknowingly and for
