Added sugar is very unhealthy. It has uniquely harmful effects on metabolic health. Sugar is generally half glucose, half fructose. The liver gets overloaded on eating excess amount of refined sugar and is forced to turn it all into fat.
This is what leads to increased tendency of accumulating fat in the belly, which leads to insulin resistance and a host of metabolic problems.
So, make a decision to minimize the amount of sugar in your diet, and consider completely eliminating sugary drinks.
Conclusion: Excess sugar consumption may be the primary initiator of belly fat accumulation, especially sugary beverages like soft drinks and concentrated fruit juices
