Tag: Candy overdose

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar a day for women and 9 for men, a stark contrast to a typical candy binge. This sudden overload of sugary sweets can profoundly disrupt your body's delicate balance, triggering both immediate discomfort and setting the stage for more serious, long-term health concerns.

A standard 2.17 oz bag of Skittles contains 45 grams of sugar, nearly double the American Heart Association's recommended daily limit for women. This immediately raises the question: is it bad to eat a whole bag of skittles? The answer involves immediate side effects and serious long-term health implications.
