First of all, let's meet "sugar"! Sugar is a general term for carbohydrates, including sugar and sugar. Usually, monosaccharides and disaccharides with sweet taste will be represented by "sugar", such as sucrose, fructose and maltose; Starch, dietary fiber, liver sugar ... These are complex polysaccharides, which will be represented by "sugar".
In order to maintain the normal function and health of the body, we need to eat enough "sugar", because "sugar" is the main energy source of the body. Eating enough sugar food at ordinary times can protect the muscle tissue of the body, and some "sugar" also has special physiological functions, such as dietary fiber and oligosaccharides. Therefore, nutritionists usually tell you: "You can't help eating sugar".
However, modern people's diet is becoming more and more refined. The "sugar" food people eat often comes from noodles, bread, cakes, biscuits made of refined white rice or white flour, and even drinks and desserts flavored with refined sugar. These refined sugars contain almost no dietary fiber, which will make blood sugar rise rapidly after being ingested, thus increasing the incidence of obesity and diabetes. At present, many documents point out that "refined sugar" and "refined starch" are the important culprits of many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, dementia, chronic inflammation and so on. Therefore, the "reduced sugar diet" began to rise, and reducing the intake of sugar food is of positive significance for preventing diseases and maintaining health.
