Candy introduction:
It is a kind of candy cake, which refers to a snack with sugar as the main component. If the fruit or nut is covered with a layer of sugar, it is called a sweet food such as candied haws. In the broad sense of Asian culture, chocolate and chewing gum are often regarded as a kind of candy. In Europe and America, candy only refers to products made of white sugar or maltose.
In ancient times, Europe and America even used honey as raw material to make candy, but because honey is too rich and difficult to control, it is not suitable for industrial production. Hard candy is a kind of hard and crisp candy with white sugar and starch syrup as the main ingredients. Sandwich hard candy is a kind of hard candy with stuffing inside;
Buttercup candy is made of white sugar, starch syrup or other sugar, oil and dairy products, with a protein of not less than 1.5% and a fat of not less than 3.0%, which has a special creamy flavor and burnt flavor. Gel sugar is a soft candy made of edible gum or starch, white sugar, starch syrup or other sugars.

Inflatable candy is a candy with small and uniform bubbles in the sugar body; Tablet candy is a kind of candy that has been granulated, bonded and pressed.
Precautions:
1, sugar is not the culprit of the disease. According to epidemiological research results, sugar intake is not directly related to obesity, while fat intake is closely related to obesity, and diabetes has nothing to do with how much sugar is eaten, because diabetes is caused by impaired islet function.
Eating sugar is not directly related to the increase of blood lipid. It should be said that the main dietary factor affecting blood lipid changes is saturated fatty acids. Only when the intake of sucrose or fructose is high will the blood lipid increase, which is due to the unique metabolic pathway of fructose in the liver. Therefore, sugar will not cause an increase in blood lipids under normal intake.
2. Sugar is not the cause of dental caries. As we all know, Britain has always maintained a high per capita sugar consumption, but the incidence of dental caries is low. In contrast, in China, where the consumption of candy in grocery stores is low, the incidence of dental caries is high.
People think that eating sugar often will lead to dental caries, because sugar exists in the mouth for a long time and can be used as a bacterial culture medium to cause dental caries. If the sugar in the mouth is removed in time by gargling or other methods after eating sugar, it will not cause dental caries.
