Tag: Sugar disadvantages

Despite its reputation as a 'healthy' or 'natural' sweetener, palm sugar is not without its drawbacks, and it shares many of the same fundamental disadvantages as other sugars. While minimally processed, its high sugar content means that excessive consumption can lead to serious health issues, a factor often overlooked by health-conscious consumers.

According to the American Heart Association, women should consume no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day, a limit that also applies to brown sugar. Despite its reputation as a healthier alternative, the disadvantages of eating brown sugar are surprisingly similar to those of its refined white counterpart, primarily due to its high sugar content and minimal nutritional value.
