We know many types of sugars - glucose, fructose, galactose, etc. Various sugars are present in small doses in most foods. There are also low molecular sugars - carbohydrates.

It is not only about diabetes, but also atherosclerosis, stroke, heart attack. There is such a thing as glycation - the dissolution of proteins with sugar, glucose, says Alexey Kovalkov, Doctor of Medical Sciences.
It should be noted that if we consume sugar in excess, our body is simply not able to digest such amount of carbohydrates. This leads to obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart attack.

With frequent use of sugar, processes occur that reduce the level of hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for maintaining the moisture level of the skin. Which does a lot of damage.
The skin becomes dry, dehydrated and looks lifeless. Dark circles under the eyes, puffiness and enlarged pores may also appear.
