Based on the video “Sugar: Hiding in Plain Sight” there are many ways in which sugar is present within our daily food intake, often without us knowing. Due to the various aliases that sugar has including high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, maltose and about 53 other nomenclatures, these aliases make it difficult to avoid overconsumption of sugar. Although sugar/glucose provides vital energy reserves to the body, excessive glucose can cause an abundance of fat to accumulate due to the liver’s inability to breakdown and process the extra fat (Robert Lustig). Fatty liver or steatosis is a result of excess sugar and alcohol consumption. Steatosis can cause inflammation, scarring and hardening of the liver. This disease is often linked to diabetes, obesity, and alcoholics (Better Health Channel).
