Diabetes and heart disease cases surge as scientists identify a single key culprit: sugar.
Cases of diabetes and heart disease have skyrocketed worldwide, with scientists identifying a single key reason: widespread consumption of processed foods high in added sugars, salt, and unhealthy fats.
A recent surge in diabetes and heart disease cases has been linked to a single key factor: the growing prevalence of obesity, particularly among children and adolescents. According to scientists, the increasing rates of childhood obesity are driving the alarming rise in these two conditions, as excess weight can lead to a range of health problems, including insulin resistance and high blood pressure. The World Health Organization has estimated that over 340 million children under the age of 19 were overweight or obese in 2016, highlighting the urgent need for effective interventions to combat childhood obesity. Governments and healthcare organizations are now urging parents, schools, and communities to take action to prevent this trend from continuing.
