A growing body of research suggests that added sugar may be more detrimental to heart health than cholesterol. A large-scale US study highlighted in JAMA revealed that individuals consuming 17-21% of their daily calories from added sugar had a 38% greater risk of dying from heart disease.

Unlike cholesterol, excess sugar contributes to heart problems by driving inflammation, raising blood pressure, and disrupting fat metabolism. To minimize this risk, health experts advise limiting your intake of added sugar to less than 10% of your total daily calories.
