you'd think nba players eat healthy but dwight howard's diet nearly got him killed back in 2004 when dwight was first drafted even though he was a pro nba player he was just like any other 18 year old kid he didn't care about eating healthy behind the scenes he was hooked on sugar as i got older it just kept going i just started to love skittles and all i wanted was skittles skittle skittles and starbursts and then i just you know i couldn't stop but by 2012 what seemed like a harmless sweet tooth turned into a deadly addiction because while playing for the lakers dwight was downing over 840 grams of sugar a day that's 11 times more than the average american 11 and all that candy was killing dwight from the inside out his stomach was inflamed he was constantly getting injured and worst of all he was losing feeling in his body even sitting down in his chair right now i was causing my legs to go numb and you know just have this tingly sensation all the way down
