Sugar makes up 38 percent of the typical US diet. Some problems/diseases linked to high sugar intake include: High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Gout, Obesity (and all of the health problems related to obesity), Cancer Growth and much more (78 different diseases and health problems according to scientific studies).
If you are serious about losing weight and improving your health, severely reduce your sugar intake. Cutting out just one soda a day and replacing it with water or tea (made with truvia) will add up to a large change over time. Getting your diet in order is about a lot of little changes over a long period of time. If you try to change everything at once you may give up because it is too hard or progress doesn't come instantly.
