Sucrose is the highest calorie carbohydrate. Excessive intake can cause obesity, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and dental caries.
2. You should not eat too much on an empty stomach.
British scientists have found that eating a lot of sugar on an empty stomach will suddenly raise blood sugar, destroy the balance between acid and alkali and various beneficial microorganisms in the body, and is not conducive to human health.
3. Excessive consumption affects children's development
Eating too much sugar will affect the consumption of body fat and cause fat accumulation; Eating too much sugar can also affect calcium metabolism. Some scholars believe that if the sugar consumption reaches 16- 18% of the total food consumption, the calcium metabolism in the body will be disordered and the calcification in the body will be hindered. A survey in Japan shows that the fracture rate of children has increased, and they think that too much sugar is an important cause of fracture. Eating too much sugar will make people feel full and have poor appetite, which will affect food intake and lead to various nutrient deficiencies. Children's long-term high-sugar diet directly affects the growth and development of children's bones, leading to rickets. If children eat too much sugar and don't pay attention to oral hygiene, it provides good conditions for the growth and reproduction of oral bacteria, which is easy to cause dental caries and oral ulcers. In order to avoid diseases such as dental caries, myopia, rickets and digestive tract, the World Health Organization appeals to parents not to let their children eat too many sweets. Sugar is one of the important substances for human survival. Sugar is one of the three nutrients and the main source of heat energy. The heat energy provided by sugar accounts for about 60 ~ 70% of the total heat energy needed by human body. Except cellulose, all sugars are sources of heat energy. Sugar is the most abundant organic compound in nature. Sugar mainly exists in cereals, cereals, potatoes, beans, rice flour products, vegetables and fruits in various forms of starch, sugar and cellulose. It accounts for about 80% of its dry matter in plants, and the sugar in animal food is very small, accounting for about 2% of its dry matter.
4. Excessive consumption can easily lead to related diseases.
Some experts believe that sugar is more harmful to human body than cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. The World Health Organization has investigated the causes of death in 23 countries, and concluded that sugar addiction is more harmful than smoking, and long-term consumption of foods with high sugar content will shorten people's life span by 20 years. Therefore, in 1995, the World Health Organization put forward a new slogan of "global sugar ban". A survey by the World Health Organization found that eating too much sugar can lead to heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebral hemorrhage and diabetes. Long-term high-sugar diet will make the internal environment of human body unbalanced, and then cause various hazards to human health. Because sugar is an acidic substance, eating too much sugar will change the pH of human blood, present an acidic constitution, weaken the resistance of human white blood cells to external viruses, and make people susceptible to various diseases. People who love sweets for a long time are likely to cause a variety of eye diseases. Experts also suggested that senile cataracts are also related to excessive sweets. They investigated 50 cataract patients and found that 34% of them have the habit of eating sweets, which they think is related to the disorder of glucose metabolism.
5. The harm of sugar
As for eating candy, some people like to hold a piece of candy for several minutes, which is actually a bad habit. Because there is a kind of lactic acid bacteria in human mouth, it can ferment sugar to produce lactic acid. The longer sugar is held in the mouth, the more lactic acid is produced, and the greater the chance of dental caries.
