In Good Health: Is Sugar Poison?

  • Resumen

  • Americans consume an average of 17 teaspoons of sugar a day with some estimates as high as 34 teaspoons a day. That's more than two or three times the recommended daily amount according to the American Heart Association.

    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has strong thoughts on the sugar.

    "There's things that will never be able to eliminate like sugar," said Kennedy. "And sugar is poison, and Americans need to know that. It is poisoning us."

    In this edition of "In Good Health," we discuss the effects to sugar on our bodies, how we can lower these risks.
