Episode 139 The Physical Effect of Sugar on the Body w/ Dr. Mahmud Kara

Hopefully, it's not news to hear that too much sugar is a bad thing for our health. In this episode, Dr. Mahmud Kara gives us a "crash course" on the negative effects of processed and artifical sugars. From how the addiction to sugar is formed, what actually happens inside the body when different organs are exposed to these sugars, and some tips on how to move away from sugar and towards a healthy body.

Sugar is not the only culprit of our unhealthy society, but it is one of the bigger ones. Dr. Kara shares the damage that sugar can do in multiple organs and systems in the human body. With his preventative approach to chronic diseases, he gives compelling reasons for why we should reduce sugar intake as we look to live longer, healthier lives.

As we discuss, it's an uphill battle due to our current food supply situation. Sugar and sugar substitutes are packaged into products in an effort to keep consumers coming back for more. Knowing and eliminating the root cause of chronic disease (in many cases sugar) is key to healthy longevity. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Kara ventured into the functional medicine area. It's a different approach to medicine with improved long-term outcomes.
