Pazvokudya zvose zvatinodya nhasi, shuga yakanatswa inoonekwa seimwe yezvine ngozi zvikuru.
… Muna 1997, vanhu vekuAmerica vakadya 7,3 bhiriyoni mapaundi eshuga. MaAmerican akashandisa madhora 23,1 bhiriyoni pashuga uye chingamu. Wepakati weAmerica akadya 27 mapaundi eshuga uye chingamu mugore rimwe chete - iyo yakaenzana nemabhawa matanhatu echokoreti akakwana pasvondo.
…Kudyiwa kwechikafu chakagadzikiswa (izvo zvawedzera shuga) kunodyira vanhu vekuAmerica mari inodarika bhiriyoni makumi mashanu nemana emadhora pagore mukubhadhara mari yavanachiremba vemazino, saka indasitiri yemazino inowana pundutso huru kubva mukushuva kwakarongwa kweveruzhinji chikafu chine shuga.
…Nhasi tine nyika yakapindwa muropa neshuga. Muna 1915, muvhareji wekunwa shuga (gore negore) waiva 15 kusvika 20 pounds pamunhu. Nhasi, munhu wega wega pagore anodya huwandu hweshuga hwakaenzana nehuremu hwake, pamwe neinodarika makirogiramu makumi maviri emushonga wechibage.
Pane mamiriro ezvinhu anoita kuti mufananidzo wacho uwedzere kutyisa - vamwe vanhu havadyi masiwiti zvachose, uye vamwe vanhu vanodya zvihwitsi zvishoma pane avhareji huremu, uye izvi zvinoreva kuti Chimwe chikamu chevanhu vanodya shuga yakanatswa kupfuura uremu hwemuviri wavo. Muviri wemunhu haugone kushivirira huwandu hwakakura kudaro hwemacarbohydrates akacheneswa. Kutaura idi, kubatwa zvisina kufanira kwakadaro kunotungamirira kuidi rokuti mitezo inokosha yomuviri inoparadzwa.
…Shuga yakacheneswa haina mafiibha, haina zvicherwa, haina mapuroteni, haina mafuta, haina maenzayimu, haina macalorie asina chinhu.
...Shuga yakacheneswa inobviswa chikafu chese uye muviri unomanikidzwa kupedza zvitoro zvawo zvakasiyana-siyana zvevhitamini, zvicherwa uye maenzayimu. Kana iwe ukaramba uchidya shuga, acidity inokura, uye kuti udzorere kuenzana, muviri unofanirwa kubvisa mamwe mamineral kubva pakadzika. Kana muviri usina zvokudya zvinovaka muviri zvinoshandiswa kugaya shuga, haugoni kurasa zvakanaka zvinhu zvine chepfu.
Tsvina idzi dzinoungana muuropi nemutsinga wetsinga, izvo zvinokurumidzisa kufa kwesero. Ropa reropa rinozara nezvinhu zvinoraswa, uye semhedzisiro, zviratidzo zvechepfu yemakhahydrates zvinoitika.
