Additionally, sugar is considered to be the cause of organ failure due to its association with cardiovascular disease. This is evident through research conducted by Mayo Clinic staff which states that “Cardiovascular disease can refer to several heart or blood vessel problems, which are damage to the heart or blood vessels due to the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries. Plaque thickens and stiffens artery walls, which can inhibit blood flow through the arteries to organs and tissues” (staff). This generally occurs when blood sugar levels are high, blood vessels narrow and block to allow circulation. Therefore, the risk of heart disease increases due to blood entering the heart. Above all, sugar is the main cause of organic failure in early childhood obesity for the simple fact that it causes internal diseases of the organism and its contribution to the cardiovascular system.
