I've been hearing about the health risks of eating too much sugar. What are they?
assistant
The main risk is that sugar can lead to weight gain and obesity, which in turn increases your risk for a number of health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and some types of cancer. Other potential risks include tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Additionally, too much sugar may also contribute to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
