Sugary drinks are more harmful than sweet foods

KOMPAS.com – Sugary drinks are more dangerous than foods containing natural sugars as triggers for type 2 diabetes.

A study conducted by a team at St. Michael's Hospital in Canada found that sugary drinks containing fructose are more dangerous because of their effect on blood sugar levels.

Fructose is a natural sugar found in foods, for example fruits and vegetables or honey.

Fructose is also sometimes added to foods such as cakes, soft drinks or cereals, as "sugar free". The form can be granulated sugar, refined sugar or corn syrup.

According to the badysis, drinks with added sugar will increase the risk of diabetes. That's why we should start limiting our consumption.

However, the bad influence of fructose is not found in fruits and vegetables containing natural fructose. Nevertheless, this research is still small scale and additional studies are needed to confirm it.

L & # 39; obesity

Fructose is known to stimulate the production of fat cells. The presence of fructose does not stimulate the production of the hormone leptin, responsible for regulating energy intake and expenditure.

Well, if people have an excess of fructose, it is feared that fat accumulation will occur more quickly than there was an excess of glucose.

Excess fructose has the same effect as people who have an excess of fatty foods.
