As we all know, excessive sugar intake can have adverse effects on human health, especially in dental protection and diabetes prevention, excessive intake of high-sugar foods has always been one of the most important influencing factors that cause dental disease and lead to a sharp increase in the prevalence of diabetes.
Therefore, in recent years, the emergence of sugar-free food can be said to have been favored by the public. So are sugar-free foods really sugar-free?
In fact, in the stereotype of the vast majority of people, sugar-free is simply understood as zero sugar content, but this is not the case in real-life sugar-free foods. Because the sugar-free food in the sugar-free food actually refers to the unaddressed sucrose, such as the most common white sugar in life.
However, without the addition of sucrose, the taste of food often drops significantly. Therefore, producers often use artificial sugar substitutes as an alternative, so that the taste can be reduced as much as possible while reducing calories and sugar.
But even so, the so-called sugar-free food is not suitable for large amounts of consumption. Taking the most popular sugar-free milk tea as an example, although there is no special addition of sucrose substances, its own raw materials are likely to contain a lot of sugar, such as milk, milk powder, fruit, etc.
Therefore, for the choice and consumption of sugar-free foods, we should still be cautious and do not be confused by the surface sugar-free. In fact, if you over-consume sugar-free foods for a long time, it is still possible to cause serious adverse effects on blood sugar health.
In addition to sugar-free foods, the frequency of use of words such as pollution-free agricultural products, organic food and green food has been gradually increasing in recent years. So what do these special foods mean?
In fact, pollution-free agricultural products refer to high-quality agricultural products and processed products that meet national standards, and have been certified and have obtained relevant certification certificates.
Green food refers to high-quality agricultural products or related products that conform to the excellent ecological environment and are produced in accordance with the relevant standards of green food, and at the same time have passed quality control and have obtained the right to use the green food mark. In addition, green food can also be divided into two levels: A grade and AA grade.
Organic products refer to agricultural and sideline products and processed products that are produced and processed in the form of organic agriculture, and meet the requirements of relevant organic standards and have been certified and regulated. Therefore, if you sort from the safety level, the order from low-end to high-end should be ordinary food, pollution-free food, green food, and organic food.
We can make reasonable choices of the above foods according to actual needs or personal preferences, but no matter which type of food (including sugar-free food) is selected, we must pay attention to buying in regular stores or stores, otherwise once you buy and eat low-quality or inferior food of unqualified quality, it is easy to have a negative impact on your health. In this regard, everyone must pay more attention to it.
The above is a common introduction to special foods in life, for this kind of knowledge, we must raise our attention, and we must have a clear and correct understanding of the true meaning of each special food.
In addition, if you want to really maintain a healthy diet and avoid a significant increase in the prevalence caused by improper diet, in addition to paying more attention to what to eat, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether to eat on time and whether to control the amount of food.
