Why Eating Too Much Sugar Is Bad For You This Weekend

June 5,2020
Share:

Added sugar is one of the most controversial ingredients in the modern diet.

It has been associated with many serious diseases, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Part of the problem is that most people consume way too much sugar without knowing it.

Evidence suggests that those who follow diets high in added sugar are more likely to develop obesity.

Sugar can interfere with hormones in your body that regulate hunger and satiety, leading to increased calorie intake and weight gain.

Excessive sugar consumption can also harm your metabolism, which can lead to increased insulin and fat storage.

High sugar intake is associated with poor oral health and some of the most deadly diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

In addition to causing health problems, sugar is addictive. It causes dopamine to be released in the reward center of the brain, which is the same response activated by addictive drugs.

This leads to cravings and can drive overeating, especially in stressed individuals.

TRY COCONUT SUGAR

Coconut sugar is extracted from the sap of the coconut palm.

It contains a few nutrients, including iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium, as well as antioxidants.

It also has a lower glycemic index than sugar, which may be partly due to its inulin content.

Insulin is a type of soluble fiber that has been shown to slow digestion, increase fullness, and feed the healthy bacteria in your gut.

Nevertheless, coconut sugar is still very high in calories, containing the same number of calories per serving as regular sugar.

It’s also very high in fructose, which is the main reason why regular sugar is so unhealthy in the first place.

At the end of the day, coconut sugar is very similar to regular table sugar and should be used sparingly.

Coconut sugar contains a small amount of fiber and nutrients, but it’s high in fructose and should be consumed in moderation.

Eating too much sugar has been linked to several deadly diseases, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

The sweeteners in this article are good alternatives, though the key word here is alternatives, meaning they should be used instead of refined sugar  and in moderation.

Stevia is probably the healthiest option, followed by xylitol, erythritol, and yacon syrup.

Natural sugars like maple syrup, molasses, and honey are less harmful than regular sugar and even have health benefits. Yet, they should still be used sparingly.

As with most things in nutrition, moderation is key.
