RE: Why Sugar Is Public Enemy Number 1

in #life7 years ago

because sugar is a carbohydrate that is naturally present in a number of foods such as milk, fruits and honey. For one particular condition, sugar is so needed in the daily diet as energy that is useful to keep the muscles and brain functioning properly.

However, now there are countless more how many foods and drinks are given additional sugar with a considerable amount. As a result, the level of blood sugar in the body also increases.

Even experts have blamed sugar as the cause of obesity and the obesity epidemic in the world. And also includes risk factors for type two diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.

Usually, when we talk about sugar, we will refer to table sugar derived from sugar cane. Table sugar is also known as sucrose, a combination of 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose. Glucose and fructose are needed because they will be processed differently in the body. But processing both have serious consequences for health.

naturally fructose is found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, but that does not mean to your health. Glucose is processed in the intestine during digestion and is used by all cells in the body.

High-fructose-rich foods have been linked to a number of chronic health conditions, such as slow metabolism, high cholesterol, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, obesity, and gout.

Fructose also causes leptin resistance, which is a hormone that determines satiety.

The American Heart Association and WHO recommend that additional daily sugar intake should be nine teaspoons (38 grams) for men and six teaspoons (25 grams) for women
