It is quite understandable to drool over mouth-watering delicacies after every meal, especially for the sweet tooths out there. We know how hard it gets to skip a little dose of meetha when you crave it so bad. Well, it’s no sin to be a big time sweet lover.
However, the problem is the choice of food you pick to satiate your sugar cravings. Majorly people prefer sweet food with regular refined white sugar which is linked with numerous severe health issues in the long run. Carbonated drinks, sodas, canned beverages, and biscuits are usually loaded with this carb which wreaks havoc on the entire health when consumed in excess.
For those of you who don’t know, your regular table sugar is refined using the Sulphitation Process, which is a cheaper alternative as compared to other modern technologies available. Within this process, Sulphur Dioxide enters sugar and impact health in so many ways over time.
What Are The Side Effects Of Sulphur Dioxide?
Typically used as a food preservative to extend the shelf life of several food items, there are severe health hazards of Sulphur in sugar.
Consumption of Sulphur infused food in excess can possess multiple health risks stated by several studies and health experts. Some of them are as follows:
- Discomfort in the stomach or Diarrhea in some cases

- Affect breathing and can cause a lot of discomfort for people suffering from Asthma
- Chest tightness and suffocation

Excess intake of Sulphur laced food or beverages can cause serious harm to your health as shared above that is why sugar has a bad reputation for being a highly processed ingredient. It has become a topic of controversy for god knows how many years!
On that note, you need to make a better choice and look for healthier alternatives like food or beverages which are made up of natural sources of sugar majorly Fruits, Nuts, Dry Fruits, Coconut Sugar, Maple Syrup, or Stevia and Sulphur-free sugar which is comparatively better to consume.
