The consumption of sugar has greatly increased during the last two decades. The effects of sugar on the human body are well known. Excess sugar may upset the body’s blood-sugar balance. It is also responsible for many adverse health conditions in today’s society such as diabetes, heart diseases, impairment of the immune system and many others. People may be born with a tendency to develop psoriasis and the condition may be ‘flared up’ by some type of allergic reaction. The allergic reaction is the effect of the excessive response of the immune system. Sugar impairs the immune system and so may have an adverse effect on psoriasis. It is not only the consumption of sugar that can make psoriasis worse but for some even the handling of sugar may have an adverse effect on your condition. Care should be taken in the consumption of hidden sugars. Many products such as chocolates, cakes, soft drinks and many others are made of sugar.
