Cigarettes or sugar – which is the bigger killer?


You’ve probably never thought about it, but is it more dangerous to put a cigarette in your mouth, or a spoonful of sugar?


Statistics show that cigarettes are extremely dangerous. They kill about five million people a year, according to figures from around the world. But for many years, doctors told us that cigarettes were not harmful, and some even said there were health benefits to smoking.


Is it possible that sugar is in the same category … a hidden killer in our midst?


Yes, it is. Not many doctors admit it, but there are more and more studies that demonstrate the link between sugar and obesity. And obesity kills 17 million people every year.


Do the maths! Sugar is more than three times as dangerous as cigarettes.

According to a study in the Journal of Public Health, people who consume a lot of sugar increase their risk of dying from heart disease. This is true even if they are not obese.


During a study which lasted 15 years, researchers found that the risk of heart disease was raised by 50% if their diets were high in sugar. The correlation was exact. As the percentage of sugar rose, the odds increased. The finding was regardless of other factors, such as gender, level of exercise, age or weight.

According to Dr Winston Jones, head of Hadford’s Public Health Service, sugar is ‘extremely dangerous’.


Dr Jones believes that national governments should control the use of sugar in food and drink because it is as addictive as nicotine, which is in cigarettes, and other drugs such as heroin. ‘There should be a tax on sugar to limit its use.’ he says. ‘And it should be banned from some products which are aimed at children.’


He points out that people stop consuming other nutrients such as carbohydrate and protein when they are full. But people become addicted to sugar and continue eating even when their body has been satisfied.
