Nutrition Diabetes Cancer
Dear Sir or Madam, I (m/30) am currently in the process of changing my diet. Over the past 15 years, I have behaved very unhealthily in regards to sugar and sweeteners. I consumed a lot of sweets, as well as a large amount of diet cola. In the last 5-7 years, this has worsened due to taking medication, as the medication triggered a craving for sweets. A daily sugar intake of 150 - 200 grams was the norm (2 bars of chocolate were not uncommon). I am aware that a recommended daily sugar intake is 65 grams. Now, my questions are:
- Despite my relatively young age, do I need to expect serious illnesses early on?
- Can I reduce the risk through changing my diet?
- Is it possible to have internal organs, such as the pancreas, examined for their condition? (Fear of pancreatic cancer, as well as other types of cancer)
- I am nearsighted and have around -5 diopters. Could this be related to sugar? (Diabetes - I have heard that blindness can occur with diabetes - should I be concerned about this?)
My highest weight was 105 kg a year and a half ago (at a height of 1.80m), and currently, I have lost weight to 90 kg.
I would greatly appreciate a response! Thank you very much!! Please provide an honest response, thank you!
