The ten misunderstanding of sugar

1.sugar cause diabetes

Diabetes is a complex problem , It don't have a yet conclusive now. Genetics, obesity, aging or lifestyle possible. Diabetes is the body metabolism obstacles , not the normal metabolism of carbohydrates .

Because had diabetes before they need to control the diet of carbohydrates, but also focus on the total amount of carbohydrates , not to see who is available , but carbohydrate sugar in one .

2. Sugar is the culprit of obesity

Obesity is because of eating too many calories not consumed , will grow fat come . Add more sugar less exercise , is the key to weight gain . Not only is sugar , eat oil, meat, rice, etc. will make people fat .

3.children become restless after eating sugar

Total or very high in the festival occasions , the children eat sugar, the ambience pleasant , adults not so much for the children as usual restrictions , the children excited about the environment dictates .
4. tastes salty, low sugar

Not necessarily, as casual snacks ( such as potato chips ) and other snacks , although taste is salty , they not only high salt , high sugar is a product .

Because of the high salt makes food become very salty, people do not go to eat , so the need to add a lot of sugar to mask the salty taste , people can take a bite.

5.sweeteners unsafe

Sugar substitute is sweet, but no calorie sugar. Among them, the amount of saccharin is the world's largest, most expensive , sweetness is the highest ( ordinary sugar from 200 to 700 times ) sugar substitute . Found a large number of animal experiments saccharin cause cancer. Therefore, the sugar substitute is disabled for nearly 20 years. Until 1991 , only to withdraw the ban , so that saccharin may be added in the beverage , food inside .

Because follow-up study found that people with high amounts of saccharin ( such as diabetes ) who could not find saccharin consumption and cancer related . Most importantly, the high dose of animal experiments , it is generally difficult to achieve in life . So other sweeteners easy to carcinogenic concerns of the association, but the people on sugar will cause cancer or memory loss , and so to say, at present there is no scientific evidence to prove it.

6.is not sweet , sugar content is low

In fact, people have impurities of sugar, will feel sweeter , so the brown sugar ( sucrose content of 78 to 86% ) than refined white sugar ( sucrose content of 99% ) is more sweet .

Sugar refining degree as sugar, retained more impurities , so the loss of minerals and vitamins is relatively small. The more refined sugar , the higher the sugar content , the more white the color , are more transparent . Foods low in order to create a sweet taste, adding high purity white sugar , the actual sugar content is higher .

7.is a good sugar fructose

Fructose 1.17 times as sweet as sucrose , 55% of the common market -fructose syrup ( half fructose and half sugar ) , the sweetness can be increased to 1.28 times .

Therefore , have the same sweetness , the amount of fructose is less than sucrose , followed by heat will decrease. However, more fructose than other sugars increased triglycerides and uric acid , in addition to people with diabetes , the use of high cholesterol and gout patients must be cautious.

8.oligosaccharides assured to eat low-calorie

Oligosaccharides than normal sugar, more complex structure consisting of several simple sugars linked together , the body can not be broken down and absorbed . So every gram oligosaccharides produced only from 0 to 2.5 kcal , less than half the sugar . Its sweetness is 20 to 70% sucrose , and maltose considerably .

Only the large intestine bacteria can use it to ferment , change the intestinal environment to help the growth of good bacteria , which is why some yogurt adds oligosaccharides . But personally gastrointestinal tolerability differences, but will eat some diarrhea. If the initial use , we recommend starting with 5g ( about 1 teaspoon ) begins.

9.low-carb diets , quick weight loss

The popularity of a class of weight loss book , emphasizing the refined sugar and starchy staples such as accumulation of body fat is the culprit , to stay away from them, and instead invest in steaks, salads arms , claiming that people can in a short time , burn fat, Xiangshou immediately thin.

However, high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet , will make people weight loss, because the loss of water and tissue proteins . The high fat content , nutritional balanced diet , long-term use have diarrhea , fluid imbalance danger.

10.on the addiction for sugar

Addiction refers to without it, the whole body is wrong. Like a smoker , a non-smoker will appear impatience , irritability, attention is not focused phenomenon. But people do not eat sugar , the body will not be any discomfort , or you can continue to live.
