I continue my post by telling you more about the disadvantages for consuming sugars:

-first of all, refined sugar contains sugars that get rapidly absorbed by the organism, leading to hyperglycemia and increasing insulin production.  Fructose, fruits and honey’s sugar doesn’t have the same effect on insulin production, so it is recommended for diabetes, even though it contains calories.

– honey still raises your glicemia!

– sweets and chocolate represent very high on sugar products (obviously), and also high on calories (aprox. 400-500 cal/100g)

-honey shouldn’t be consumed by infants smaller than 1 year of age, because it can lead to botulism

-refined sugar and fructose lead to increased blood pressure and cholesterol

-regulate sugar consumption ALWAYS leads to OBESITY, but doesn’t necessarily lead to diabetes, if there’s no genetic condition for this

– 1 tbsp honey= 65 cal;

1 tbsp sugar= 15 cal;

– after digestion, sugar and honey become identical in chemical composition

– glucose has 100 glycemic index, maximum for comparing with other aliments
