(1) Prevention of coma caused by hypoglycemia: On an empty stomach, symptoms of hypoglycemia are often prone to occur, and some people will easily faint at this time. Only by supplementing sugar in time can coma be effectively prevented, which is one of the benefits of eating sugar.
(2) Dehydration treatment: Eating sugar also has the benefits of treating dehydration. Vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration. Drinking a glass of sugar water can effectively restore intestinal function, thus treating dehydration.
(3) Prevent collapse: Another advantage of eating sugar is to prevent collapse. Sugar can replenish a lot of energy to the body, thus effectively preventing the body from being weak in limbs.
2. The disadvantages of eating sugar
(1) Tooth decay: There are many bacteria in the oral cavity. If a large number of sugary foods are ingested frequently, these bacteria will decompose the residual sugars in the oral cavity and ferment. In this process, acidic substances will be produced, which will erode teeth. In fact, many children suffer from tooth decay because they like sweets. Therefore, brushing your teeth in time after eating sweets can avoid tooth decay.
(2) Causes of obesity: After sugar food is digested and absorbed by human body, part of it is used to supplement energy, and the other part is stored as glycogen in muscle and liver. In addition to meeting the needs of these two people, the remaining large amount of sugar will be converted into fat in the body. In human and animal experiments, it is also shown that eating too much fructose will cause excess and accumulation of fat.
(3) Induced hypertension: A survey of sugary drinks in the United States shows that the probability of diabetes is 20% higher when drinking a can of sweet drinks every day than when not drinking sweet drinks, and the probability of diabetes when drinking two cans of sweet drinks every day will increase this risk to 50%.
(4) Lead to osteoporosis: The metabolism of sugar food in the body needs to consume a lot of vitamins and minerals, so eating sugar often will cause nutritional problems such as vitamin deficiency and calcium deficiency.
