Simple Sugars

Also known as:  Simple Carbohydrates

Simple Sugars are a group of Monosaccharides and Disaccharides.

Amino Acids

 Simple Sugars may increase the uptake of supplemental Creatine (and Creatine from Creatine Monohydrate) into Muscles (when Simple Sugars are consumed at the same time as supplemental Creatine or Creatine Monohydrate, Muscle Creatine concentration may increase significantly more than when Creatine or Creatine Monohydrate supplements are consumed alone (without concurrent Simple Sugars)).  ^[1]

Adrenal System

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may increase the body's production of Adrenaline by up to 400%.

Aging & Life Extension

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may accelerate the Aging Process by causing Cross-Linking (glycosylation) of the body's Proteins.

Cardiovascular System

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may increase the risk of Atherosclerosis (due to Simple Sugars causing Cross-Linking of the Collagen that is a constituent of Blood Vessels).

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may damage the Blood Vessels (due to Simple Sugars causing Cross-Linking of the Collagen within Blood Vessels).

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may increase the risk of Hypertension (due to Simple Sugars causing Cross-Linking of the Collagen in the Blood Vessels).

Digestive System

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may cause Intestinal Permeability.  ^[2]

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may exacerbate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (by reducing the buffering effect of Polysaccharides).

Excretory System

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may damage the Kidneys (due to Simple Sugars causing Cross-Linking of the Collagen that is a component of the tiny filters within the Kidneys).

Eyes/Vision

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may increase the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD).  ^[3]

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may increase the risk of Cataracts (due to Simple Sugars causing Cross-Linking of the Collagen that is a component of the Eyes).

Immune System

 Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may accelerate the development of food Allergies.

 Simple Sugars may feed Cancer cells and Cancer patients are therefore advised to reduce their consumption of dietary Simple Sugars:  ^[4]
