Is sugar-free food really sugar-free? Can diabetics safely eat sugar-free food?
It depends on what kind of sugar-free food it is. There are too many sugar-free foods on the market now. Most sugar-free food packages are marked with "no added sucrose", but some food packages are marked with "no added sugar" and some are only marked with "no sugar". The ingredients list contains dextrin, maltose and corn syrup, which belongs to hydrolyzed starch and is not helpful for weight loss and blood sugar control. Products containing oligosaccharides and sugar alcohols are relatively healthy. However, even sugar-free foods containing oligosaccharides and sugar alcohols should not be eaten too much, because food will contain starch, which will be converted into glucose in the body, which will also increase blood sugar. However, dietary fiber can help reduce the absorption of sugar, thus slowing down the rise of blood sugar. Therefore, if you want to choose the safest sugar-free food, you should know how to look at the ingredient list and nutrient composition list, and choose oligosaccharides or sugar alcohols and dietary fiber. In addition, in addition to the above, you can also focus on whole grains, medicated diet and health food. Therefore, diabetics must be able to choose sugar-free foods. I have eaten several kinds, and I think Gao Xianbao's is not bad, and the details that should be paid attention to in diabetes food are still in place.
