It is known that if a person eats a lot of foods with added sugar (donuts, sweets, etc.), this can affect the cholesterol level in his body. Trista Best, MD, MD, and nutritionist states that cholesterol levels can be improved by reducing the amount of added sugar in the diet.
The truth is, added sugar can cause inflammation, lower “good” cholesterol, and increase triglyceride levels (blood fat).
A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that people who drink sugary sodas (0.33 ml or 12 ounces) each day are more likely to experience high blood triglycerides and lower “good” cholesterol levels.
Rachel Fine, also a nutritionist and founder of To The Pointe Nutrition, says it’s impossible to completely refuse products that contain added sugar. Instead, try to include as many healthy foods as possible, such as avocados and olive oil, which lower your “bad” cholesterol levels and increase your “good” cholesterol levels.
