"Sugar substitute" food, these foods are characterized by not adding sugar (such as white sugar, granulated sugar, sucrose, glucose, etc.), but substituting sugar (sugar substitute), so that the food is also sweet, and the packaging of the food is usually marked with "Sugar free" (No Sugar added or artificial sweet, etc.).
Substituting sugar allows you to enjoy delicious food and be "sweet and healthy".
Research progress of sugar substitute-sugar substitute drinks will not promote appetite;
You don't have to worry about whether it will boost your appetite when you drink diet coke. According to a study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, people who drink Diet Coke will not consume more sugary or fatty foods than those who insist on drinking only water. Related research was published in the recently published American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN).
Some researchers have suggested that sugar substitutes may disrupt hormones related to hunger or satiety, leading to an increase in food intake; In addition, some researchers assume that sugar substitute drinks will increase drinkers' preference for sweets and turn to eat more high-calorie meals.
The study investigated 3 18 overweight or obese adults in North Carolina, and all the subjects indicated that they consumed at least 280 calories a day.
13 subjects replaced at least 2 servings of drinks with water every day, and13 replaced them with low-calorie drinks. At the 3rd and 6th months, the subjects must report their diet in two days in detail. According to another previous report, both groups lost weight by replacing sugary drinks with water and sugar substitute drinks.
According to this new report, the average daily calories consumed by the two groups were less than at the beginning of the study, and the total calories, carbohydrates, fats and sugars consumed by the two groups were similar in the third and sixth months.
However, the researchers warn that all the subjects in the study are obese and trying to lose weight, so the results of the study may not be applicable to normal weight groups who drink many sugar substitutes.
