People with diabetes and three highs had better avoid it as much as possible; For the average adult, it is best to control it at 50 grams for men and 37 grams for women.

2. Brown sugar is rich in minerals: the minerals in brown sugar are the most abundant among all sugars, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin E, which are superior to other sugars. Like brown rice, it is an unprocessed product. However, the calorie of brown sugar is still high, and eating too much will still cause excessive calorie intake.

3. Maltose, honey and oligosaccharides are low in calories: because the calories are lower than other sugars, they are often regarded as health products. However, if friends with chronic diseases want to replace this sugar, it is better and safer to consult a professional dietitian and doctor.
