If one damages the lunula, the nail will be permanently deformed.

In order to stay healthy, the American Heart Association recommends no more than six teaspoons, or about 25 grams, of added sugars per day for women, and nine teaspoons, or about 36 grams, for men.
Women: no more than 100 calories per day which equals 6 teaspoons or 24 grams. Men: no more than 150 calories per day which equals 9 teaspoons or 36 grams. To put these numbers in perspective, the majority of sugar sweetened cereals contain at least 4 teaspoons of sugar per serving.
