15. Your blood pressure is high
There’s been a lot of research in recent years proving that added sugars put you at a higher risk for high blood pressure. In fact, one of the studies showed that sugar is even worse for your blood pressure than sodium! To increase both your systolic and diastolic pressure, you would only need to eat a high-sugar diet for a couple of weeks. If you’ve already been experiencing blood pressure issues or are at risk of developing hypertension, talk to your doctor about the recommended quantities of added sugar.
