Health Impact
Refiner syrup is associated with addictive and metabolic disorders and leads to diabetes, poor cardiovascular health, and poor dental health. It is heavily associated with an increase in diabetes and obesity if over consumed. Excessive added sugar intake is associated with adverse health conditions, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory diseases. Excessive sugar consumption may trigger neuroadaptations in the brain that decouple eating behavior from caloric needs and leads to compulsive overeating. The American Heart Association suggests an added-sugar limit of no more than 24 grams of sugar for most women and no more than 36 grams of sugar for most men each day.
