Shockingly, this elevated risk persisted even among those following otherwise healthy diets.<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🚨" title="Police car light    :rotating_light:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f6a8.png" data-shortname=":rotating_light:" /> The leading sources of added sugar are sugary drinks (over one-third of intake), followed by desserts, candies, sweetened cereals, and fruit drinks. Researchers warn that excess sugar raises blood pressure and prompts the liver to release harmful fats into the bloodstream — both powerful drivers of heart disease.<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🥤" title="Cup with straw    :cup_with_straw:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f964.png" data-shortname=":cup_with_straw:" /> To put this into perspective: a single can of soda can exceed the daily sugar limit recommended by the American Heart Association (6 teaspoons for women, 9 for men). Swapping sugary drinks for sparkling water with fruit or opting for unsweetened desserts can go a long way in protecting your heart.<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🫀" title="Anatomical heart    :anatomical_heart:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1fac0.png" data-shortname=":anatomical_heart:" /> The bottom line: Cutting back on added sugars may be one of the most effective ways to lower your risk of heart disease — more so than focusing only on cholesterol.Source: Yang Q, Zhang Z, Gregg EW, Flanders WD, Merritt R, Hu FB.
