What are the effects of too much or too little sugar intake on human health?

1. Excessive intake

When you eat too much sugar, your blood sugar will suddenly rise very high and then drop very low. This change may cause headaches. Sugar will speed up the storage of fat in liver cells. Long-term high-sugar diet will cause fat to accumulate around the liver like small balls, which is a precursor to "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease". Data shows that 1/5 of British people are troubled by this problem, and men over 50 years old are the most susceptible group.

2. Intake of too little

Sugar is an essential nutrient for the human body. When the body consumes too little sugar, it will cause a lack of nutrition in the body, leading to collapse, fatigue, hunger, dizziness and nausea.

The correct way to eat sugar

First of all, control the intake. We need to know that the harm of eating sugar mainly comes from refined sugar with high sugar content. Brown sugar, brown sugar, white sugar and rock sugar are all refined sugars. When we buy food, we must learn to identify the level of sugar content. Before purchasing, we must first look at the ingredient list on the food package. The first three names in the ingredient list include sugar, so the refined sugar (white sugar, Corn syrup, fructose) content is very high. Please make your own choices when buying and eating, and control your intake.

To control the intake of refined sugar, we must first know the sugar content in our daily food. Depending on the classification of sugar, the daily sugar intake is 30g-40g.
