A healthy breakfast (whole wheat cereal+orange juice) is certainly more reassuring than ham and fried eggs that can cause arterial blockage, because the former has lower fat content. But few people realize that a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice contain half of the total sugar that a person needs to consume in a day. Therefore, you should start to pay close attention to the sugar intake from food every day.
Sugar in chocolate, biscuits and ice cream is easy to attract people's attention, while sugar hidden in other foods will make people unconsciously exceed the recommended upper limit, thus increasing the possibility of suffering from a series of diseases (such as diabetes and heart disease).
Surprisingly, sugar also exists in many salty and spicy appetizers, such as sauces, sauces and frozen foods. Ironically, some low-fat foods contain more sugar. This is because the fat removed during food processing will make its taste worse, so manufacturers will add other ingredients (such as sugar) to improve the taste and texture of food.
People get about 50 grams of sugar from their diet every day, which is equivalent to eating 10 cube sugar. Studies have shown that 500 ml of cola will make the sugar intake exceed the upper limit. The sugar in milkshake is equivalent to 16 cube sugar, and even the sugar in a very nutritious and healthy salad is equivalent to 2 cube sugar. In addition, the sugar in fruit juice and honey also belongs to unhealthy added sugar, because they will enter the human body in high concentration, thus causing harm to health. The sugar content in milk, vegetables, fresh fruit (not juice) and dried fruit is not too high. If most of your diet comes from the above foods, it is equivalent to eating 18 cubes of sugar or 90 grams of sugar every day.
So how should we identify high-sugar products? Generally speaking, the total sugar (including natural sugar and added sugar) in each100g food is not more than 5g, which is a low-sugar food, and the food exceeding15g is a high-sugar food. Although sugar is necessary energy to promote the normal operation of human cells, excessive intake will cause insulin secretion disorder and lead to diabetes. In addition, the human body will convert excess sugar into fat and store it around important organs, laying a hidden danger for heart disease and liver disease.
