It’s apparent, thus, the need for us to consume fresh, unprocessed food of a differing variety every day to boost our immune systems. Sugary drinks, also known as sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), are any drinks sweetened with various forms of processed sugars, like brown sugar. Sustained consumption of SSBs precipitates kidney diseases or failure, along with causing or heightening the risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and liver disease. Unhealthy fats, such as trans fats (TFAs), on the other hand, are a form of unsaturated fats that may occur naturally, as in red meat, whole milk and other dairy products. However, artificial trans-fats, also known as industrial trans fats or partially hydrogenated fats, are hazardous to health.
