7. Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
If you have difficulty concentrating or if you have frequent memory loss, sugar may be the cause. High sugar consumption has been associated with impaired brain function and even an increased risk of cognitive decline over time.
8. Frequent blossoming or digestive problems
