Xiaobian will introduce you in this article Sugar, the "sweetness" of macromolecular organic matter, is connected with people's joy and satisfaction Nowadays, the word "sweet" in Chinese has gone beyond the scope of taste, and is more used to describe beautiful and pleasant things Can sweeteners replace sugar? Let me introduce you next Sugar, which has been regarded as the "source of life", has been frequently questioned in recent years The guidelines for sugar intake of adults and children newly formulated by the World Health Organization (who) suggest that free sugar intake should be reduced in the whole life course; the free sugar intake of adults and children should be reduced to less than 10% of the total energy intake, if it can be further reduced to less than 5% of the total energy intake, it will bring more benefits to health According to the energy demand of about 2000 kcal per day for adults, refined sugar intake should be controlled to 50 g per day, which is only equivalent to the sugar content of a bottle of about 500 ml carbonated beverage In addition, the sugar from candy, chocolate, dessert, cake and preserves can be absorbed rapidly in the body, and the blood sugar fluctuates greatly, which can easily lead to the disorder of insulin secretion But after all, sugars have important functions, such as basic energy of nervous system, precursor of serotonin, protein saving And there is also the irresistible temptation of people's vision and taste, which can't be ignored The answer is No Many processed foods will be added with sweeteners, which is almost impossible to avoid strictly, but at the same time, sugar is not a monster Under normal circumstances, we do not recommend deliberately using sweeteners instead of sugar intake We should also learn how to select [compound sugar], such as milk, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, the protein and fat in these foods, not only slow down the absorption of sugar in food in the human body, but also provide other rich nutrients It is the right attitude for us to treat "sweet" rationally that we do half a jin of milk, half a jin of vegetables, half a jin of fruits, half a jin of grains (about one third of which are coarse grains), and try to control the refined sugars of honey, candy, biscuits, bread, juice (even fresh juice) and avoid deliberately taking sweeteners We must pay attention to our health Now our country's life is getting better and better With the food safety detector, we can detect whether the food we eat is healthy, so that we can safely eat it, and then meet food safety knowledge like food sweetener safety , you can pay attention to our safety net, our editor will explain it patiently for you Editor in charge: he xianrob
