To eat sugar, you need to understand sugar

Sugar is one of the main energy sources necessary for the human body, and sugar in a broad sense is carbohydrates

Monosaccharides commonly used in food production include fructose, glucose, etc.

Whether it is sugar in the broad sense or sugar in the narrow sense, they all have a common feature, consumption of these sugars or processed products will cause the body's blood sugar to rise and produce energy

In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that the daily sugar intake of adults should be controlled at 5% of the total energy intake for the day, or about 6 teaspoons, or about 25 grams

In fact, consumers' misunderstanding of "0 sugar" has a long history

Generally speaking, these sweeteners produce less energy in the body, do not require insulin to metabolize, and do not harm human health

First of all, consumers must be clear that it is impossible to not eat any foods containing sugar at all.
