Do you know when sugar became unlovable? People talk about the color change of sugar. Eating sugar makes them fat and eating sugar makes them suffer from diabetes. Especially some young women who love beauty are not only afraid of eating sugar, but also stay away from sweets and even fruits. Eating as little sugar as possible seems to be the principle of people's diet and life now. Studies by medical scientists and nutritionists have proved that people's understanding of sugar is wrong. Eating sugar is not only harmless, but also healthy. Speaking of sugar, people naturally think of sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar and candy. In fact, when nutritionists say sugar, they include a wider range. It is a large class of organic compounds produced by plants through photosynthesis. Sugar is widely distributed in the biological world, almost all plants, animals and microorganisms contain it, especially in the plant world, accounting for about 80% of the dry weight. People and animals can't "produce" sugar like plants, and the sugar in the human body is mainly provided by food. Sugar is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is similar to that of water, so sugar is also called carbohydrate. The fruit candy, brown sugar, white sugar and rock sugar we usually eat are collectively called sucrose. Sucrose is just one kind of sugar, and others like starch, maltose, lactose and glucose are all sugars. For sugar, the main points of "rehabilitation" now are as follows: eating sugar will not make people fat. According to the statistics of some countries, people who eat less sugar are more likely to suffer from obesity than those who eat more sugar. Because obese people tend to eat too much fat, do too little exercise and have too much nutrition, not too much sugar. In fact, sugar can reduce appetite and avoid eating too much. Eating sugar will not cause diabetes, which is caused by complex factors. It is caused by impaired islet function. Normal people eating sugar will not cause hyperglycemia and diabetes. People in sugar areas in China eat more sugar. The Ministry of Health has organized experts to investigate the incidence of diabetes in sugar-producing areas of Guangxi. Among the investigated 1 1034 people, only 10 people were urine positive, and the incidence of diabetes was 7.07% through glucose tolerance test. Then 926 1 person was investigated in non-sugar producing areas, and 60 people were found to be positive for diabetes. After glucose tolerance test, the incidence of diabetes in these people is 65,438+00.47%. These surveys and experiments fully prove that there is no direct relationship between how much sugar you eat and diabetes. Eating sugar will not cause cardiovascular disease. In the past, people thought that sugar could easily cause coronary heart disease. Now medical scientists have proved that this is just a misunderstanding, there is no causal relationship between the two, and eating sugar has no adverse effect on blood lipids. American surveys show that in the past 20 years, Americans' consumption of sugar has increased, while the number of people who died of myocardial infarction has decreased.
