@nosotrostequila: How much sugar is in a canned Margarita? 360 calories per can, yet the sugar is not listed on it, but check their website — a whopping 27 grams of sugar in just one can. That’s nearly 7 teaspoons of sugar in a single drink. What can you do instead? Make your own margarita with a true 100% de agave Tequila Blanco (ideally with low aldehyde content), fresh lime juice, and a touch of agave, say half an oz. Agave has a much lower glycemic index than sugar, protecting your insulin spikes! Why is sugar so bad for you? Here's some of the negative effects of sugar on your health - Obesity Sugar makes it easy to overeat — it's not filling, it spikes dopamine, and it triggers fat storage mode by raising insulin. All roads lead to weight gain. Type 2 Diabetes The more sugar, the higher your blood sugar and insulin resistance. One study showed women who drank one sugary beverage a day had an 83% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Heart Disease Sugar raises blood pressure, increases triglycerides, and accelerates arterial plaque — it’s a major driver of cardiovascular risk. Cognitive Decline High sugar intake has been linked to memory problems and brain fog. In animals, even small doses damaged the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory. Cancer Many cancer cells thrive on sugar. Fructose, in particular, may speed up tumor growth and create inflammation that supports cancer progression. Leaky Gut Sugar feeds harmful gut bacteria, weakening your gut lining and letting particles into your bloodstream. Cavities Sugar feeds bacteria that destroy your enamel and cause tooth decay. Kidney Disease Regular sugary drink consumption is linked to kidney damage. Not all alcohol is created equal. Time to drink better.
