Is sugar really bad for health, as it is rumored?

 Does it cause diabetes, as some claim?

  Research produced by Natalie Oslin - Healthline Scientific Journal

 There are a few things we can take for sure about sugar.  Number one, it tastes so great and number two?  Its matter is very, very confusing and disturbing, and it enters a person in confusion and anxiety...

 While we can all agree that sugar is not a healthy food, there is a lot of misinformation about how sweet items should affect your diet - if any, for example, are some types of sugar healthier than others?  And will getting rid of it really put you on the fast track to losing weight, easing acne, avoiding mood swings, or any other health problems?  Turns out the answers may not be what you think, here's a look at eight things even the most seasoned nutritionist might not realize about sugar, and what you need to know about making it fit into your diet.

 1. “All kinds of sugar are bad?”

 You may have heard over and over again dear that we should consume very little sugar, but what the experts really mean here is that we should eat less added sugar..., that is, the sugar added in foods to make them taste sweet -...... like  The brown sugar in the chocolate chip cookies or the honey that you use in your morning breakfast....... Of course, added sugar differs from the sugar naturally found in some foods, such as fruit or milk,...... For example  For example, natural sugar comes with a host of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients........that help offset some of the negative aspects of its sugar content,...as Georgie Vere explains.........., author  Lean Habits for Lifel Weight Loss book.  ......For example, fruit contains fiber that makes the body absorb sugar at a slower rate.  ………………………………………

 What about takeaway?  Don't worry about things like whole fruit or regular dairy products (like unsweetened milk or yogurt), what you really need to watch here are sources of added sugar, i.e. sweets, sugary drinks or packaged foods.

 2. Natural or minimally processed sugars are best for you

 It's true that slightly processed sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup, contain more nutrients than heavily processed sweeteners, such as white sugar, but the amounts of these nutrients are very small, so they likely won't have a measurable impact on your health.  For your body, all sources of sugar are the same, moreover, these natural sweeteners do not get any kind of special processing for your body.

 On the other hand, the digestive system breaks down all sugar sources into simple sugars called monosaccharides: “Your body has no idea if it’s from added sugar, honey or sweets,” says researcher Amy Goodson. All of these sugars provide 4 calories per gram.  , so it has the same effect on your weight, whatever its source.

 3. You must cut sugar out of your life completely

 In fact, you don't need to cut out added sugar from your life quite as rumoured, and different health organizations have different recommendations on how much sugar you should limit daily, but they all agree that there is room for some sugar in a healthy diet, on the other hand, the guidelines say.  American Diet For an adult eating 2,000 calories a day, those calories should contain less than 12.5 teaspoons, or 50 grams of added sugar per day (that's roughly the amount in a 450-gram cola).

 4. Sugar makes you sick

 You may have heard that eating sugar causes heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer, but eating it in moderation won't precipitate your death at all. A study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which followed more than 350,000 adults for more than a decade, found that consuming added sugar did not  It's been linked to an increased risk of death, of course, as long as you're consuming too much, and while eating a moderate amount of sugar doesn't appear to be harmful, eating too much of it may put you at risk of weight gain.  But it can also be the case with eating a lot of chips, or a lot of cheese, or even a lot of brown rice.

 5. Sugar is a drug and induces addiction

  "Comparing sugar to addictive drugs is a simplified shortcut," says researcher Giuseppe Gangarossa.  Experts know that eating sugar stimulates pathways in the brain associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. Also, the intervening pathways may produce effects similar to drug use, but that doesn't make them as addictive as drugs, meaning, explains Ali Webster, associate director of nutrition communications at the Food Information Council Foundation.  International.

 So why do some people get this impulsive when they eat sugary snacks and feel they need a regular fix to avoid a meltdown?  Eating sweet foods causes your blood sugar to rise and fall quickly, which can make you tired and have a headache. "On the other hand, this often leaves people looking for more sugar to stabilize their blood sugar and help them feel better," Judson explains.  Moreover, the comparison between sugar and drugs is still a matter of debate.

 A recent analysis by the European Journal of Nutrition found little evidence to support the idea that sugar has addictive and drug-like properties. Scientific American also notes that changing our food environment can help relieve these cravings;  That is, by sticking to avoiding added sugars at home, such as breakfast pastries or quick cereal, your cravings for sweets may gradually decrease.

 6. Sugar-free alternatives are a good alternative

  It may be tempting to swap sugary foods for ones made with low-calorie or no-calorie sweeteners, such as diet soda or sugar-free crackers, but making this trade-off may be counterproductive and not likely to be healthier, as consumption of sweeteners such as aspartame and saccharin is linked.  And sucralose is for weight gain, not weight loss, according to an analysis of 37 studies published in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association. Furthermore, they have been linked to a higher risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart attack and stroke.

 Experts are still baffled by how these types of sweeteners affect the body, but mounting evidence indicates that they can have a negative effect on blood sugar, make it difficult to control your appetite, and even cause endless problems for your gut bacteria, and of course,  These things may put you at risk of obesity and related health problems.

 7. A low-sugar or sugar-free diet will help you lose weight

 Sure, limiting sugar intake can help you reach your weight loss goals, but only if you are aware of your total calorie intake, it is very easy to replace sugary foods with other foods that actually contain more calories, which can lead to an increase in sugar intake.  Weight. A low-sugar or sugar-free diet cannot guarantee weight loss.

 In other words, eating a 600-calorie breakfast sandwich with eggs and sausage instead of a 300-calorie bowl of sugary cereal won't get you back in your leggings, even if the sandwich has less sugar, so what exactly would help?  Veer (researcher) recommends choosing the unsweetened types of foods you usually consume, such as plain yogurt instead of flavored yogurt, OK, and if you can't find a good alternative?  Gradually reduce the amount of sugar you add to foods such as oatmeal, coffee or smoothies.

 8. Does sugar really cause diabetes?

 There are two main types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. We know that sugar does not cause type 1 diabetes, nor does anything else in your lifestyle, because in type 1 diabetes, the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed by a system  immunity.

 With type 2 diabetes, the answer is a little more complicated, meaning, although we know that sugar doesn't directly cause type 2 diabetes, you're more likely to get it if you're overweight, meaning that you gain weight when you  You eat more calories than your body needs, and sugary foods and drinks contain a lot of calories, so you can tell if eating too much sugar is increasing your weight, you are increasing your risk of type 2 diabetes, and at the same time, diabetes  Type 2 is very complex, and it is unlikely that sugar is the only cause of the development of the condition, meaning that sugar does not cause type 2 diabetes directly, but only causes obesity, which in turn can contribute to the formation of this type of diabetes.

 Bottom line, sugar isn't a healthy food, but it's also not an evil poison that humans once made, and while most of us eat it in reasonable amounts, it's perfectly fine to get a fair amount of it daily, so go ahead and enjoy your sweetie (in reasonable proportion) without feeling guilty  , Sugar is not that evil that has been described over the years, and as we know there are millions of people who eat sugar in high quantities, and live for 90 years without any diseases, so it is not the rule: ----- that sugar is the first cause of ruining your life, my dear  .
