Sweets are more harmful than drugs

May 3, 2025

Sweets have turned out to be more harmful than drugs - they kill more people than any banned substances. The issue is that cookies, candies, snacks, and so on lead to diabetes and other severe diseases. The difference is substantial: in 2022, sweets 'killed' 124,000 people, while drugs claimed 74,000. And this is not even mentioning obesity, which slowly but surely takes thousands of people annually.
