Do you love sugar? Maybe its time to take a pause and realise that what you are consuming might be very dangerous for your own health.

The gruesome pictures below show some shocking effect of sugar, and hence in order to raise awareness The Diabetes Association of Thailand commissioned Thai designer Nattakong Jaengsem to make such pictures so people could reduce their sugar intake.

We often think that sugar leads to weight gain but it can also cause Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes reduces our ability to heal and hence our cuts and sores easily get infected and at times results in amputation.

This campaign is titled, ‘Sweet Kills’ and the photographs are recreated using the very same thing that we consume.

It might be difficult to look at these photos but no doubt, this will make you think twice before consuming sugar.
