To maintain the normal function of pancreatic islets, food is obtained from the diet, and sugar is used by the body to maintain life activities. However, if the function of pancreatic islets decreases significantly, and it is impossible to secrete enough insulin to consume sugar and turn it into power, it may be high blood sugar and eventually develop diabetes, so it is important to protect pancreatic islets and improve islet function. However, there are some types of food that can destroy the islets of pancreas, so it is better to eat less in life to avoid diseases.
What really becomes the islet killer is the high-sugar snacks, which refers to those snacks that contain a lot of sugar and taste very sweet, these snacks contain added sugar and have a lot of content, after adding fructose and sucrose, it will quickly raise blood sugar, and blood sugar spikes in a short period of time, in order to maintain blood sugar stability, pancreatic islets have to play a role in secreting a large amount of insulin for blood sugar control.
Long-term intake of high-sugar snacks will cause the islets to continue to be in a state of high load, which will be damaged and the function of the pancreatic islets will decrease, and subsequent blood sugar fluctuations may lead to diabetes. There are many representatives of high-sugar snacks, such as candy, cakes, chocolates, etc.
