Sugar is addictive and is in all of our favorite treats, and while it's tasty, consuming too much can have some negative effects on our body. Fortunately, there are clear signs that you may be consuming too much sugar. Here are five indicators that it's time to cut back. Consuming too much sugar can cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate, which may lead to mood swings throughout the day.  It goes without saying that too much sugar, which in turn is too many calories, can lead to weight gain over time. High sugar levels can lead to skin inflammation and increase your likelihood of developing breakouts.  Similar to mood swings, blood sugar spikes followed by crashes can leave you feeling drained by the end of the day. Sugar can also interfere with the hormones that regulate hunger, like leptin and ghrelin, which will prevent you from feeling full, causing you to eat more.
