Sugar does not kill people - people do

When this sugar to start a bad reputation? Unlike many herbs and supplements that are advertised "safe and healthy, because they" are, of course, that people forget, sugar cane or sugar is from sugar plant, and is a natural food itself. In a survey where people were asked "How many calories are in a teaspoon of sugar?" The answers went as high as 200 calories or more. How many calories are really sugar? Only 16 calories per teaspoon.

Just asHas a reputation as a tree, causing diabetes, and contribute to the obesity epidemic? Well, you know many people do not use sugar - or many other foods for that matter - in moderation. Indeed, one teaspoon of sugar on your cereal in the morning or grapefruit, another coffee, and a third in your iced tea at lunch amounts to less than 50 calories. How can it be a health hazard?

Now imagine a donut for breakfast - no, make it two. That can bring about300 calories. Most people think that the high caloric content is due, because the sweet taste of sugar donuts. But what makes Donuts fattening the fat is fried it. Ice cream for an evening snack may have 500 calories to help some - but not all made of sugar and fats in ice cream and sugar and fat contains more than twice the calories of sugar, gram for gram. (To give a perspective, a teaspoon of butter has 45 calories,compared to sugar is 16).

Here are some examples of how people take excessive amounts of sugar: A friend told me a story yesterday about a young woman who could not lose weight no matter how they tried to diet and physical activity, upon further examination found my the girl was drinking 12 cans of soda a day. If the overweight girls drinks provisionally agreed to stop for 30 days, they got lost 20 pounds! No one can say it was soda drink in moderation, ifwon his overweight.

Another young woman came to me because they tried to lose weight, eating very reasonable: What, he wondered, could be behind the extra weight that will rise? The answer: You drink sugary drinks several times a day (soda, fruit punch, tea, sugar), and is 12-15 bags of sugar in the brewed tea! By switching to sugar-free beverages (in moderation, or artificially sweetened) saves 600 calories a day, so that they easily loseone pound per week without dieting!

These are examples of people consume sugars in amounts that contribute to obesity. Someone with diabetes have difficulty controlling their blood sugar levels if they were using packets of 50-75 / teaspoons of sugar per day, as young women were in these stories. Someone trying to lose weight to control their blood pressure, cholesterol or triglyceride level is a difficult time to do so would consume morePortions (read: a teaspoon) of sugar at each meal and between meals.

Yes, has allowed sugar in large quantities, especially on a daily basis for weight gain, hyperglycemia in people with diabetes, high triglyceride levels and help some people. But the sugar in moderation can be enjoyed by all.

Here are some guidelines for submission:

1) Limiting sweetened beverages for a total of 12.8 ounces served per day (including soft drinks, punches, sweetened tea, frozenBeverages and coffee cans power "drinks" electrolyte replacement "drinks, fruit and sweetened drinks).

2) limit added sugar in coffee or tea and cereal or fruit to 1-2 teaspoons per meal.

3) Most recipes for baked goods call for more sugar than necessary: If you want to cook at home, she asked the amount of sugar by about 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 without any detectable difference to reduce ( 1-1 / 2 cups 2 cups INSTEAD).

4) Limit candy, donuts, chocolate bars,Sweets and cakes for a once daily (remember, they should be treated!).

Enjoy your sweet without overdoing it, and you do not have to worry if the sugar is bad for your health!
