Sugar's influence extends beyond immediate effects, having serious implications for long-term health. High blood sugar levels lead to retinopathy, a major cause of blindness, through chronic inflammation and cellular damage. Similarly, kidneys suffer from sugar overload; the glomerulus, a crucial filtering unit in the kidneys, can become damaged, leading to potential kidney failure. Eliminating sugar can significantly reduce these risks and is a proactive step toward maintaining healthy vision and kidney function.
