Endocrinologist Warns of Hidden Dangers in Everyday Added Sugar

An endocrinologist has warned about the health risks of added sugar in everyday diets. Ilona Mirzoyan, a specialist at MEDSI Premium, explained how the body handles all sugars in the same way—regardless of type. Mirzoyan highlighted that the body breaks down every kind of sugar as carbohydrates. This means natural and processed sugars have the same metabolic effect. She stressed that excessive intake can lead to serious health problems.

For those looking to cut back, she recommended berry and fruit purées as natural alternatives. These add sweetness without the need for refined sugar. When extra flavour isn’t needed, she suggested stevia-based sweeteners instead.

The advice comes as part of broader efforts to reduce sugar consumption. Mirzoyan’s recommendations focus on practical swaps for healthier eating. Her guidance aims to help people make better choices without sacrificing taste.
