In a recent study published in the international journal
Medical Journal of Australia
, researchers found that soft drinks in Australia and Europe contain high levels of glucose and low levels of fructose, and that the overall glucose concentration in Australian soft drinks is on average
22% higher than in soft drinks in the United States
Source: BioGunChina Beverage Industry Network the researchers compared the sugar composition of the four most popular brands of soft drinks from Australia, Europe and the United States, including Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and Pepsi;For now, researchers don't know whether these differences can have different effects on people's long-term health, but it's certain that excessive intake of glucose or fructose promotes weight gain, which is thought to be directly related to a range of health problems, such as type
2
diabetes and heart disease, and that the effects are not the same because the machine metabolizes glucose and fructose in different ways.sucrose, glucose and fructose like soft drinks mentioned in Australia, are called
carbonated drinks
"
in the United States, while in Europe they are referred to as
soate , which is a non-alcoholic, carbon dioxide-filled sweet drink; Sugar is the main component of soft drinks, including glucose, fructose and sucrose, and the sources of sugar in popular soft drinks tend to vary from region to region, as sugar in different regions of the world tends to come from different types of crops.Australia's soft drinks are rich in sucrose from sugar cane, also commonly known as sugar, which is connected by a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule through chemical bonds, which means that when sucrose is digested, the same amount of glucose and fructose is released in the blood. Sugar in soft drinks in Europe usually comes from sucrose in beets, while in the United States it comes from high fructose corn syrup, which consists of glucose and fructose, but also contains high levels of fructose
-
glucose components compared to sucrose.the health effects really different?researchers have found that excessive fructose intake induces fatty liver disease, which affects the health of about one-tenth of the population in Western countries, and that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the main cause of liver disease. Some researchers have pointed out that excess fructose in the diet can damage liver health in a similar way to alcohol, but people are more concerned about artificially added fructose in the diet than to natural sources;High glucose intake can quickly raise blood sugar levels and insulin levels in the body, which may affect brain function, including mood and fatigue, and because high blood sugar is directly associated with the onset of diabetes, consuming drinks containing high levels of glucose may increase an individual's risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. All soft drinks are considered energy-intensive, low in nutrients and harmful to the body, but one of the challenges researchers face is that they can't determine the actual levels of glucose or fructose in these drinks.The researchers followed the population for a long time to clarify the link between soft drink intake and the body's reverse health effects, and the researchers did not know whether the individuals in the study simply ate energy-rich foods or whether their intake of soft drinks was consistent with poor health behavior;So soft drink policies Researchers still need to do a lot of research to illustrate the differences between the composition and patterns of soft drink sugars between countries, including Mexico and France, a series of countries have now started to tax soft drinks, of course, whether these policies or actions can reduce the incidence of obesity, diabetes and heart disease in the population, has yet to be further verified.Australia's policy makers have yet to take action to reduce their intake of soft drinks, although they may need to consider a range of interventions, such as banning the sale of sugary soft drinks in schools and hospitals, taxing and adjusting the marketing of drinks. Nsw Health has just announced that
it will phase out sugary drinks in vending machines, coffee shops and catering services by December
this year, which may be a big move. More importantly, researchers must continue to increase public awareness of the negative effects of sugary soft drinks on the health benefits of the body.
