The reluctance to give up eating sweets inevitably leads to an increase in excess weight and the risk of obesity.
Sugar is poison to the body
We are all accustomed to thinking that sugar increases the circumference of the waist and hips and increases the size of the belly. But this is all “averaged” and very inaccurate data. In fact, the problem is much more serious than it might seem. Gastroenterologist Yulia Chueva told us what health problems a strong addiction to sweets can cause.
– A painful dependence on sweets in most cases leads to obesity, diabetes, problems with the liver and kidneys and other problems. Many doctors compare the love of sugar to the love of drink in weak-spirited people. The symptoms and consequences are similar – life expectancy and its quality deteriorate significantly, the doctor emphasizes.
She also emphasized that one should not assume that replacing regular table white sugar with brown cane sugar will eliminate health risks. In fact, you can achieve improved health only by reducing portions, but not replacing one product with another that is equally sweet and high in calories.
Is there an example to follow from diabetics?
In an attempt to reduce health risks, some people replace regular sugar with sweetener substitutes sold in diabetic aisles or pharmacies. Alas. But this is also not the best solution.
Recently, American scientists from the University of Minnesota found that artificial sweeteners significantly increase the rate of formation of fat deposits on the body.
The researchers came to this conclusion after an experiment that lasted hellishly for 20 years. During it, the effect of the most popular sugar substitute, aspartame, on the figure was carefully studied. It turned out that it activates the process of production and accumulation of fat cells. It is noteworthy that most of them transform into unsightly “hills and swellings” in the abdomen and thighs.
Also, excess tissue forms in places where there were previously steel muscles. For example, on the arms or legs.
Thus, it turns out that the only true path to slimness and health is a complete abstinence from sugar in any form, American scientists emphasize.
