It is capable of causing a wide variety of different ailments in children including crankiness, trouble concentrating, anxiety and hyperactivity.
Sugar is also capable of producing a significant rise in the level of triglycerides in the body as well as contributing to reductions in the immune system which can allow bacterial infection to thrive. It can cause a loss of the function and elasticity of tissue in the body, so the more you consume, the more damage is caused. It can also lead to chromium deficiencies, a reduction in high-density lipoproteins which are healthy cholesterol and can lead to ovarian cancer. Sugar is also capable of causing copper deficiencies, increasing fasting glucose levels and interfering with the body's natural absorption of magnesium and calcium.
There are a wide variety of different conditions that sugar can cause if you consume too much of it on a regular basis. Unfortunately, most foods and drinks contain too much of this these days, and so you are likely consuming it at dangerous enough levels.
