Don’t give the monkey any more sugar
The fruity-sweet jam on the breakfast roll, a small juice spritzer in the afternoon, and the well-deserved chocolate after a hard day are all part of the pleasure-seekers. We eat sugary foods every day. Consciously and yet often unconsciously. Sugar is hidden in many foods. But can you do without the sweetener?
At least since the book “I quit sugar” by the Australian blogger, journalist, and nutritional coach Sarah Wilson was published, more and more people are critical of sugar. In terms of health, the reduction in sweet crumbs should bring a lot. It’s not just about teeth and weight. Sugar is also often associated with impure skin, listlessness, restlessness, and restlessness, although no scientific studies have yet proven this.
Good sugar – bad sugar!?
Glucose is the body’s most important source of energy and essential for brain function. It is quickly absorbed by the body and smuggled into the cells via the blood with the help of insulin, where it is “burned”, which explains its meaning as a “quick source of energy”. Glucose can already be resorbed in the oral mucosa – this ensures the supply to the brain.
Sucrose (the “normal” table sugar) consists of half glucose and half fructose.
Large amounts of fruit sugar (fructose) cannot be used well; he looks laxative. People whose tolerance threshold for fructose (fructose malabsorption) is lowered must also take this into account when eating some fruits. Fruit contains fructose. However, it depends on the ratio of glucose and fructose, so not only the fructose content alone plays a role. Fruit is high in nutrients and fiber. This slows down sugar absorption, which is healthier for the body. Above all, fresh fruit provides us with essential vitamins and secondary plant substances.
