Dr. Alexander Myasnikov points out that "sugar consumption has tripled over the past twenty years, making obesity, diabetes, and related cancers an epidemic." According to the doctor, industrially produced sweets are far more dangerous than those made at home. They contain high levels of trans fats and sugar substitutes, among other harmful ingredients. He notes that the harm from sweets is lesser when consumed in the first half of the day. According to data from the World Health Organization, sugar substitutes are more dangerous than regular sugar because they can cause cancer. It is essential to understand that sugar substitutes are present in everything - sweetened soft drinks, candies, cakes, chewing gum, and even toothpaste. It is also worth mentioning that sugar substitutes disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and the development of diabetes. In general, there are no sweets that are harmless to health.
