discusses the potential harm from too much added refined sugar in the diet.  

Explain the relationship between excess added sugar intake, body weight and chronic disease such as diabetes.  

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Sugar is a natural substance that can be found in fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, nuts, seeds, and even dairy products.

By extracting this natural sugar, refined sugar may be created, which is already present in such enormous quantities in the food supply. Products such as table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are produced using this method of producing refined sugars (HFCS).

Usually, refined sugars are added to foods and drinks to enhance flavour. Since they seldom ever include any vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, fibre, or other healthy substances, they are referred to as "empty calories."

Additionally, commercial foods and beverages that tend to be highly processed, like ice cream, pastries, and soda, frequently include refined sugars.

These processed meals can be deficient in nutrients and high in salt and added fats, which can have negative health effects when ingested in large quantities.
