The one ingredient wrecking your digestion isn’t fat
The one ingredient wrecking your digestion isn’t fat.
It isn’t carbs.
It isn’t even gluten.
It’s sugar.
Hidden in over 70% of packaged foods.
Bread.
Sauces.
“Healthy” cereals.
Protein bars.
Flavoured yoghurts.
Even salad dressings.
Why does this matter?
Because sugar doesn’t just hit your waistline.
It feeds the wrong bacteria in your gut.
Over time, the gangs take over, fuelling inflammation, leaky gut, fatigue, and low immunity.
🤓 A 2018 study in Nutrients found that high-sugar diets reduce microbial diversity and increase gut permeability.
Translation: fewer good bacteria, more chaos.
Think of your gut like a city.
The good bacteria are citizens.
The bad ones are gangs.
And sugar? It’s free weapons.
💡Thrive365 tip:
Check labels. Sugar hides under 50+ names (fructose, maltodextrin, rice syrup).
Keep added sugar under 30g a day.
For sweetness, go wholefood: berries, apples, or a square of dark chocolate.
Your gut doesn’t need more sugar.
It needs stability.
Always read the label!
