TOO MUCH SUGAR CAN BE HARMFUL Sugar contains sucrose. Sucrose is made up of fructose and glucose. Fructose, when taken into the body is not completely broken down. It enters the liver and is changed and sent into the bloodstream as triglycerides. Triglycerides are a form of fats. They accumulate in blood vessels and liver cells. They also accumulate in adipose tissues and makes you obese or overweight. With time, you become at risk of conditions such as fatty liver, atherosclerosis, hypertension and a whole lot of cardiovascular diseases.
