Abstract
When the parents catch their kids eating sugar, their initial concern often gravitates towards oral health, when in reality, it may be indicative that their kids are having some mental health issues. Sugar is a readily accessible treatment for young individuals grappling with mental health challenges, because eating the tasty food provides a seemingly simple solution. Regrettably, I found a lack of awareness and reflection among the lay public regarding the rationale behind their perceived mood enhancement. This video explores an objective perspective to the excessive amount of daily sugar that the population is taking nowadays. From addressing the gap for the influence of sugar in mental and physical health, in both short and long term, the video aims to help the audience to understand and treat sugar correctly in daily diet.
