A groundbreaking meta-analysis has found that high sugar consumption poses a greater risk for heart disease than previously believed — even more so than dietary cholesterol. Researchers examined data from over 30 years of global studies, revealing that added sugars drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and arterial stiffness, key factors in cardiovascular decline.
Unlike natural sugars found in fruits, refined sugars from processed foods cause rapid blood glucose spikes that damage vascular tissue. The study’s authors argue that public health guidelines have overemphasized cholesterol for decades while underestimating sugar’s impact.
Reducing daily added sugar intake to below 25 grams could dramatically lower heart attack and stroke risk, especially when combined with exercise and fiber-rich diets.
The findings have reignited global calls for “sugar taxes” and clearer labeling on packaged foods to fight rising rates of metabolic disease.
