Doctor warns of the harm of sugar in sugary drinks affecting health. Dr. Jiang Zhigang, an authority in toxicology, explains how sugar intake can lead to diseases like diabetes, obesity, and even cancer due to blood sugar fluctuations and pancreatic dysfunction, urging people to reduce sugar consumption to overcome sugar addiction. WHO recommends limiting daily sugar intake to 6 teaspoons for adults, while a 500cc sugary drink can contain 50-75g of sugar, exceeding the daily limit. Sugar addiction is a global health issue linked to dopamine release in the brain, but reducing sugar intake can help control addiction as dopamine receptor levels decrease with lower intake, reducing pleasure response, making sugar addiction treatable.
