Beware the sneaky marketing... Sugar isn't the fix you need to get you through the day.

How much is too much?

That's one of the very first questions anyone starting to realize how detrimental sugar is to one's health asks.

The answer is simple: does consuming 6 cups of sugar in a week sound like too much?

That's because it is. And yet, you may be surprised to know that it's the average weekly sugar intake of a regular American.

To add insult to injury, you may be eating all that sugar without even realizing it.

In fact, misleading advertisements, coupled with the desire to make profit above all other considerations, have led the food industry to sneakily add sugar to a wide range of products that never needed it in the first place.

Why wouldn't they add an addictive substance, arguably as addictive as cocaine, to their products and make you not just enjoy eating them but also crave them?

If you think your low-fat, sweetened breakfast cereal is good for you, check the label for added sugar, then think again.

It's a dangerous lifestyle, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly--it can lead to countless chronic diseases like diabetes and increase the risks of deadly heart diseases.

None of this is your fault, however.

Studies have shown that 80% of shoppers come across conflicting nutritional data and 59% doubt the choices they're making for themselves.

What you shouldn't be confused about, though, is the need for a healthy change.

You hold all the cards for positive change in your life. Don't fall into the traps of an industry whose sole purpose is to "hook" you to its unhealthy products.

You now have the tools to fight back and regain control of what goes into your body.

Only then will you reap the real physical and mental rewards of a healthy lifestyle that you've been denied your whole life.
