Cardiologist Dr. Dmitry Yaranov warns that sugar, not just cholesterol, is a major threat to heart health. Research from 2025 links high sugar intake to a 17% higher risk of heart disease, 23% for coronary artery disease, and 9% for stroke—causing over a million new cases globally each year. Hidden in processed foods, excess sugar fuels inflammation and disrupts glucose control, making label-checking and moderation vital for heart protection.
