A connective tissue disease is any disease that affects the parts of the body that connect the structures of the body together. Connective tissues are made up of two proteins: collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein found in the tendons, ligaments, skin, cornea, cartilage, bone, and blood vessels. Elastin is a stretchy protein that resembles a rubber band and is the major component of ligaments and skin. When a patient has a connective tissue disease, the collagen and elastin are inflamed. The proteins and the body parts they connect are harmed.

We live in a day and age where fat has become the new enemy. Fat free foods are thought to reduce weight? Sugar-Free food us sup
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Sugar

Explanation:

Sugar is worse because it creates unhealthy fat, sugar can decay teeth and increase fat build up. Fat free food doesn't do much for you because you need fat to live, an avocado is made up of fats that are good for you when food is fat free they take out the good fat and the bad fats, type two diabetes is caused by insulin resistance and high levels of blood sugar. Fat build up in arteries can also cause heart attacks, but this is the bad type of fat and is typically from sugary substances like mass amounts of ice cream, funnel cake and bacon. Fatty fish and olive oil are very good for your heart and taste just as good as other foods with bad fats. Sugar creates bad fats and can eventually kill you and is highly addictive and yet we need it to live, sugar can cause immunity problems as well because it blocks blood cells. Sugar can also cause hyper-sensitivity (the feeling when everything is too much to handel or too loud) and anxiety and it leaves you wanting more. So although fat is bad sugar is the true enemy.
