Why Sugar Is Killing Us with Dr. Julie Gatza

According to the American Heart Association, the average adult swallows 22 teaspoons of added sugar each day – mostly in the form of soft drinks, candy, cakes, cookies, and pies.  Not to be outdone, America’s 14-to-18-year-olds consume an eyepopping 34 teaspoons of added sugar daily.

“Sugar provides our bodies with ZERO protein and fat and virtually no trace of vitamins or minerals.
