If you can't help but think about eating, waking up, when you're in a bad mood, when you're in a good mood, when you're bored, when you're in a meeting/studying... Come to a cup of fat house happy water,
Well, please note the following news:
Recently, a study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found an association between women under the age of 50 who drank sugary drinks and an increased risk of colorectal cancer, including colon and rectal cancer.
The study, published May 6 in the journal Gut, showed that drinking large amounts of sugary drinks during adolescence (13 to 18 years) and adulthood increased the risk of colorectal cancer.
Can I still drink sweet drinks?
In fact, drinking drinks properly does not have to worry too much about getting cancer.
However, too much sugar intake and too much sweet drink are always bad for health, and we should pay attention to drinking less.
The World Health Organization, who has evaluated the relationship between sugar intake and health, believes that excessive intake of added sugar increases the risk of dental caries and obesity. Obesity, in turn, may increase the risk of other diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases.
The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), two of the world's major authorities on cancer, proposed "limiting the intake of sugary drinks" in the top ten anti-cancer recommendations put forward in 2018.
Therefore, no matter what, from the perspective of health, sugar reduction and sugar control are still beneficial to health, and we still have to drink less sweet drinks.
The World Health Organization strongly recommends that the intake of free sugars in adults and children should be controlled below 10% of total energy, preferably further below 5% of total energy.
For an average adult weighing 60 kg, it is about 50 grams, if it can be best controlled at 25 grams.
At present, the sugar content of sugar-sweetened beverages on the market is mostly 8% to 11%, so a bottle of beverage with a capacity of 500 ml has a sugar content of between 40 grams and 55 grams, or even higher. So, if you want to drink, it is best not to exceed one bottle per day.
After talking about sugar drinks, let's talk about the recently blown "sugar-free drink wind", this series of drinks claims to be "gas- and card-free, fat-free, sugar-free", which is no inferior in taste to ordinary drinks, so it is popular with many young people.
However, is this legendary "sugar-free drink" really sugar-free? Can diabetics really drink it? To this end, she also consulted her attending doctor, who replied:
Why do "sugar-free drinks" taste sweet?
In fact, the sweet taste in these sugar-free drinks is mostly due to the role of artificial sweeteners. At the beginning of the 19th century, saccharin as the only artificial sweetener occupied a mainstream position for a long time, it can be a hundred times sweeter than sucrose, and has less effect on blood sugar, so it has entered the diet of diabetics at that time.
Later, with the development of artificial sweeteners, more kinds of artificial sweeteners entered the sugar-free beverage market, and the more common sweeteners included aspartame, cyclamate, erythritol, stevia, yuanzhen sugar, xylitol, sucralose (sucralose), sodium saccharin and acesulfame, etc., although they are not sugar, they can be "sweet to sad".
What is the definition of "sugar-free"?
According to the provisions of China's "General Principles for the Labeling of Prepackaged Special Dietary Edible Foods", the requirements for "sugar-free" foods refer to the sugar content of each 100g or 100ml in food that must not be higher than 0.5g.
Just like the trans fatty acid content in each serving of food is less than 0.5g can be called "non-trans fatty acids", sugar-free food can only be called "low-sugar food" strictly speaking, the bottle labeled sugar-free beverage may be completely sucrose-free, but may also contain a small amount of sugar, so diabetics should try to avoid all sugar-containing drinks.
Is "sugar-free" harmful to the body?
The food additives found everywhere in drinks such as "Coke Zero" and "Sugar-free Carbonated Drinks" are aspartame. It does not produce heat and can be absorbed and broken down in the body's intestines. Erythritol and xylitol can be absorbed by the body by 50%-95%, will produce very little calories, and do not need insulin to participate in metabolism, so it has little effect on blood sugar.
The doctor also introduced: Although the current sweetener is safer, but there is no benefit to the body, if there is no sugar drink to drink more, it is easy to produce sweet habits, at the same time, because the sweet drink will increase people's appetite, unconsciously, humans will ingest too much food, thereby increasing the probability of obesity.
All in all, while the risks of long-term consumption of artificial sweeteners are not yet clear, they can also provide an occasional "sweet" opportunity for diabetics. Want to know whether a sugar-free drink is the real "0 sucrose" or sugary, look at the food ingredient list is king, do not mistake "low-sugar food" for "sugar-free food"!
A healthy life requires balance, and excessive intake of sugar or sugar substitutes is not a good thing. Whether it is a sugary drink or a sugar-free drink, boiled water is the best "drink" for human beings!
If you really feel that boiled water is dull and tasteless, you can choose some pure sugar-free tea drinks appropriately, and drinking less light tea is also good for the body. The variety of cokes, milk teas, and juices on the market is better to drink less!
