🇺🇸 HOLMANFIT HEALTH TIP
Watch Out for These High-Sugar Foods and Drinks
Sugar. Sugar. And more sugar.
In my last post, I warned you: Americans consume far too much sugar—and it’s making us sick.
❓ How Did This Happen?
Because we live in a broken system.
If you’re overweight, obese, or suffering from a chronic disease, you’re likely a victim of that system.
🏭 What is the System?
- Big Food creates highly processed, addictive products designed for taste—not health.
- Americans consume too much of it—and gain visceral fat.
- This leads to obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, heart disease, and more.
- Big Pharma and Big Medicine profit from treating symptoms—not curing root causes.
There’s little profit in wellness—but there’s power in knowledge.
You don’t have to be a victim.
🛡 You Can Fight Back
Start by learning what excess sugar does to your body—and where it’s hiding in your food.
⚠️ Too Much Sugar Contributes To:
• Obesity
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Fatty Liver Disease
• Mood Swings & Energy Crashes
• Cognitive Decline & Depression
• Tooth Decay
…and more.
✅ Daily Sugar Limits
- Men: 9 teaspoons (36g)
- Women: 6 teaspoons (24g)
❗Most Americans consume 2–3 times that amount—every single day.
Set a goal: stay under your daily limit.
