A cardiologist warns that added sugar, not just saturated fat, silently harms the heart and significantly raises the risk of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Dmitry Yaranov says sugar hides in drinks, snacks, sauces, and “healthy” foods, fueling inflammation, high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, and diabetes. A JAMA Internal Medicine study linked high added-sugar intake to a doubled risk of dying from heart disease. The NHS advises adults and children over 11 to consume no more than 25–30 grams of added sugar daily, but many eat over triple that amount, increasing risks of heart disease, diabetes, and liver problems.
