The most popular myths about sugar

At each medal two parties. Having investigated some of our delusions, one may say, that they are right only partially, and you should not take everything in all good faith, is more main – to listen to the organism and the nature. And always to call myths and delusions in question.

Myth 1. Mostly, we receive sugar from candies and sweets. Most of people think that we receive sugar from candies. And that it is worth refusing sweets, and consumption of sugar will decrease. Bring nanometer to realities, not only candies sugar. We receive a lot of sugar from carbonated drinks and various popular sauces. The tablespoon of tomato ketchup, for example, contains the whole teaspoon of sugar.

Myth 2. The sugar which is contained in fruit and sugar which is in cakes, - different things. All know that fruits contain sugar. But many think that it is some other, more useful sugar. And it not absolutely so! Sugar there same. Only in fruit it in smaller concentration, besides, it arrives together with vitamins and minerals. While in cakes and cakes of sugar, of course, there is a lot of, it is more slowly burned by an organism therefore sugar level in blood increases, blood pressure grows. Therefore sugar – same, and here works really differently.



Myth 3. Sugar causes diabetes. Diabetes and sugar, and the truth, are connected among themselves. But not everything is so unambiguous. Type 2 diabetes is most widespread, and it is caused often by overeating. Overeating of sugar, including, but not only. Too large number of food which is eaten forces an organism to produce more glucose that in turn demands from an organism to produce more insulin. Too large amount of insulin as result of this process, is soaked up by cages which are not able to process any more arriving growing insulin over time. It also results in a large number of sugar in blood. Therefore, diabetes and sugar, of course, are connected, diabetes and sugar – the diabetes reason is called "sugar", but not only.

Myth 4. Sugar can become the skin aging reason. Unfortunately, it not delusion, this is true. Collagen is a protein which keeps our skin in an elastic state, holds young structure of skin. But when collagen contacts sugar, it loses ability to do skin elastic, and we can look much more senior, and skin loses youth. Well, the quite good incentive to refuse sugar if it works as good anti-age cream!



Myth 5. Sugar is the reason of hyperactivity. Many consider that sugar results in hyperactivity, and especially it is shown at children. All saw how children behave at parties with candies and cake by a birthday. However researches show that actually not sugar is guilty of it. Nervousness leads to adrenaline emissions, as causes hyperactivity, and not sugar at all. Lovers of fitness too in vain think that if they eat sweet before a training, then will move more actively. It does not "work". Sugar is also not an enerdzhayzer for us, that is does not load with energy.

Myth 6. Sugar causes increase in weight. Almost all consider that to lose excess weight, it is necessary to refuse sugar. But actually, not sugar causes increase in weight. In normal conditions and a normal diet, carbohydrates (including sugar) do not turn into fatty deposits. And, by the way, sugar contains less calories (per 1 gram), than alcohol or protein. However, some dependence nevertheless is, and it cannot be denied also. Sugar causes decrease in insulin, and it conducts to the fact that we feel fatigue and hunger. This influence of sugar can influence that it will want to eat more, as will lead to a set of weight.



Myth 7. Sugar is after all sugar. And here it is possible to agree with it precisely. Kind of we called it what new grades would not appear in our life, after all sugar is a sugar, and its action on an organism quite certain. Brown sugar, palm sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, fructose, a fructose concentrate, glucose, a dextrose, medical, lactose, a maltose, treacle, raw sugar, sucrose … – all this sugar. Therefore do not deceive yourself new names. Just know that not for nothing many cautions of specialists nutritionists are connected with sugar. Sugar is necessary to us, but its excessive consumption can become risk for health. And moderate consumption of sugar is absolutely harmless to an organism.
