A new American Heart Association scientific statement which provides specific guidance on limiting the consumption of added sugars and provides information about the relationship between excess sugar intake and metabolic abnormalities, adverse health conditions and shortfalls in essential nutrients, says that "most women should consume no more than 100 calories (about 25 grams) of added sugars per day."
High intake of added sugars, as opposed to naturally occurring sugars, is implicated in the rise in obesity. It’s also associated with increased risks for high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, other risk factors for heart disease and stroke, and inflammation (a marker for heart disease), according to the statement’s lead author Rachel K. Johnson, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.D., associate provost and professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont in Burlington.
Added sugars are sugars and syrups added to foods during processing or preparation and sugars and syrups added at the table. "Sugar has no nutritional value other than to provide calories," Johnson said. "Consuming foods and beverages with excessive amounts of added sugars displaces more nutritious foods and beverages for many people." [1]

I understand the importance of watching your sugar intake; however, it's the association of high sugar intake to inflammation that caught my attention. It's common knowledge, and something that every human being should be aware of, that inflammation is "a marker for heart disease."
Inflammation is defined as a localized reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection. Symptoms of inflammation include pain, swelling, red coloration to the area, and sometimes loss of movement or function. Although we commonly think of inflammation as the painful component of arthritis, inflammation is also a component of chronic diseases such as heart disease and strokes.
One of the best ways to fight inflammation is to prevent it. I know that may not always be easy to do; however, there is a product on the market that specifically "targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly." [2] And that product is TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™
Nopalea's betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment. Yes folks, this is what I consider preventative medicine at the cellular level.
Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ is not made from Mangosteen or Acai. And from the research I've done, Nopalea™ is a much more effective fruit than the aforementioned fruits. To learn more or to try Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ click on the following link, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™.
Yes, we have to watch our sugar intake, but remember, "If inflammation is the problem, Nopalea™ is the solution!"
