Sugar-free vegetables: bamboo shoots, onions, bean sprouts, spinach, mushrooms, bean products, fungus, laver, peppers and other vegetables do not contain sugar or have low sugar content.
According to international practice, sugar-free foods cannot contain sucrose (sucrose and beet sugar) and starch sugar (maltose, etc. ), but it must contain substitutes, such as sugar alcohols (including xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, etc. ), cannot be produced with high magnification sweeteners such as saccharin.

First of all, sugar-free foods may contain starch hydrolysate as a source of sweetness, that is, starch syrup, fructose syrup, maltose and so on.
These syrups may not be slower than sucrose in raising blood sugar and converting it into energy. I have seen such products with glucose syrup or starch syrup, also called sugar-free food. These ingredients may even raise blood sugar faster than sugar.
Secondly, most sugar-free products in China use high-efficiency sweeteners, especially synthetic sweeteners, such as acesulfame, sodium cyclamate, saccharin and aspartame.
However, these things are hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose. Then, like the original formula, 40 grams of sucrose should be added to 100 grams of product, and only a few grams of sweetener is enough. Generally speaking, starch, starch hydrolysate or dextrin are mostly used for filling.
Saccharin sold in the saccharin sodium market is actually saccharin sodium, and its scientific name is o-sulfonyl benzoyl imine. It has been used for one hundred years and is the most traditional and cheapest sweetener.
Saccharin sodium is 200 -700 times sweeter than sucrose, but it has poor taste and obvious bitterness. After entering the human body, it does not decompose, does not absorb, and is excreted with urine, which has no nutritional value. Saccharin was once considered as a carcinogen and was banned in many countries. The government has also taken measures to strengthen the management of saccharin, stipulating that it is not allowed to be used in baby food.
Sodium cyclamate, whose scientific name is sodium cyclamate, is the most widely used sweetener in China's food industry at present. Sodium cyclamate is pure in sweetness, which can keep the flavor of food and prolong the shelf life of food. At the same time, it is a low-calorie sweetener, which is not absorbed by the human body and will not cause heart disease, obesity and dental caries. It is especially suitable for diabetics as a sugar substitute.
Abroad, it has been reported in 1969 that this product has carcinogenic and teratogenic effects, and it has been banned in various countries. Since then, many countries have studied its toxicity and found no abnormality, and more than 40 countries have begun to recognize its use.
The scientific name of Aspartame has been approved for use in 100 countries, and it is the fastest growing sweetener in the world market last year. Has high safety, pure sweetness and no dental caries, and is suitable for patients with obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
Stevioside is a diacyl glycoside extracted from Stevia rebaudiana, which has high sweetness, good taste and stable properties. Stevioside is a natural sweetener suitable for patients with diabetes and obesity, and also has the functions of preventing dental caries, lowering blood pressure, promoting metabolism and treating hyperacidity.
