Is sugar killing you?
It’s time to be dramatic. This cartoon dishes the facts — admittedly, bluntly — that sweets and processed carbs, including licorice, cookies, chocolate cake, ice cream, popcorn, soda and French fries can, in fact, send you to an early grave.
Think I’m exaggerating in this cartoon from the talented Isabella Bannerman?
Unfortunately, I’m not.
When you eat too many candies, soft drinks, and processed carbs, you could get:
- Cancer
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- And an early death

Hi: this is mary and I a diabetic and of had cancer four times. The only poutine I eat is chicken, cheese, fish, eggs and lunch meat, outmeal. I am not able to eat salads, brocclie and cucumbers. I am so tired of eating the same menu and I have never been showed how to do a days menu in my life.I have tired to do it myself but it don’t work for me so then I give up and start eating JUNK FOOD which makes me feel better. Thank You
Mary,
My heart goes out to you for your cancer challenges. What I don’t understand is that there are many other foods you can eat so why are you eating the same menu?
Please remember that junk foods, especially those with sugar, may make you feel better temporarily, but over the long haul, they can make you worse.
Did you know that sugar leads to cancer?
Your plight so troubles me that I’m going to email you privately.
Connie
