在过去很长的一段时间里,人们都认为吃糖是引起肥胖、多动、糖尿病、心脑血管疾病等的万恶之源,这使很多人爱吃糖又不敢吃,或者选择添加人工甜味剂的无糖饮料。
事实上,糖并不像你想的那么有害。
尽管吃糖太多和肥胖以及一系列心脏和肝脏疾病直接相关,但关于糖还是有很多讹传,往往使得适量吃糖听上去比实际上更糟。
来看看下面这些关于糖的真相,帮你破除对糖的常见误解。
误解1:有些糖比其他糖更有益健康事实:所有种类的糖对身体的影响都一样。
有人认为,世界上有不同种类的糖,这是一个误解。
红糖、白糖、蜂蜜…
…
最终成分都是同一种东西——葡萄糖。
各种形式的糖都是可分解成葡萄糖被吸收的碳水化合物误解2:糖会导致儿童过度活跃事实:糖并不会引起亢奋。
多年来各种科学研究表明,事实上,吃糖和过度活跃不存在任何直接的联系。
误解3:糖和硬性毒品一样会让人上瘾事实:并没有确凿的证据证明糖会让人上瘾。
误解4:吃太多糖会得糖尿病事实:两种类型的糖尿病都是由基因和环境因素综合导致的,但是单单是多糖饮食并不会直接导致糖尿病。
误解5:相比糖,人工甜味剂对身体更好事实:一些人工甜味剂对身体的危害跟糖不相上下。
研究显示,喝无糖汽水的人肥胖的可能性比不喝无糖汽水的人高一倍。
人工甜味剂糖精比可卡因更容易让人上瘾。
误解6:糖导致蛀牙事实:蛀牙实际上是由酸性食物和饮料导致的,酸性物质会腐蚀牙齿上的釉质。
误解7:你应该完全不吃糖事实:人类需要葡萄糖才能生存。
糖对身体本质上不好是个误解。
我们都需要糖,这是让人体运转的基本组成部分。
糖是让我们存活的必需物质。
误解8:糖是各种身体问题的根源事实:糖并不是肥胖和心脏病背后的唯一原因。
含糖食物热量都很高,而且通常是深加工食品。
事情很简单:如果你摄入很多热量,体重自然会增加,然后变得不健康。
