Rory Butt, nutritionist from Marvin's Den,says that colorful carbonated drinks – these are the culprits of increased blood clotting and the formation of blood clots. The reason iced tea, cola and similar drinks are harmful is that they contain a lot of “pure sugar”.

Eating sugary foods in large quantities can increase your cholesterol levels. And this is one way to increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis.

Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutritionrecommends consuming no more than 5% of total calories as free sugars. However, this is still an erroneous recommendation, because if someone gets a lot of calories per day in general, then he will also consume too much sugar.

Also National Health ServiceThe United Kingdom notes that a maximum of 30 g of free sugar can be consumed per day without harm to health. But for a person with miniature parameters, this can be a lot.

In general, you just need to observe moderation in the consumption of sugar.
