Sugar is in everything, and it can hurt you (feat. John Oliver)

Sugar can be a huge danger to your heart. People who get more than 18% of their calories from sugar can have up to a 38% increased risk of heart disease compared to those who get less of their calories from sugar (according to Heart.org).

Now keeping track of your sugar wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the large amounts of sugar added to everything from ketchup to cranberry juice. John Oliver breaks down the details in this video:
Because of the risks of sugar, and the sheer amount of added sugar in everything, Metalheart is in full support of John Oliver's #Showusyourpeanuts campaign.

So tweet your favorite company and ask them to #showusyourpeanuts, because only by showing their peanuts to the world, can we get a real view of what companies are putting in your mouth.
