Sugar hinders the body’s immune system and predisposes people to allergies and infections. Some of the health conditions associated with the overconsumption of sugar: allergies, obesity eating disorders, eczema, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and kidney stones, learning disabilities, irritable bowel syndrome, depression candida, anxiety, hyperactivity in children, dental cavities, diabetes and countless others.
Many people struggling with serious health conditions and weight loss make an attempt to reduce the sugar in their diets. This is often easily done in theory than in practice. They may think that by not adding sugar in their coffee or tea, they are doing all the right things but the truth is they may be consuming sugar without even realizing it. This is why we should be more aware of the hidden sources of sugar in our foods. Due to this, I must discipline myself not to indulge in any sugary treats during those late nights of doing blog advertising.
Here are the different names and types of sugar used by manufacturers: Barley malt, beet sufar, brown sugar, buttered syrup, cane juice crystals, cane sugar, caramel, corn syrup, date sugar, dextran, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice and fruit juice concentrate, glucose, glucose solids, golden sugar, golden syrup, grape sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, lactose, malt syrup, maltodextrin, maltose, molasses, raw sugar, refiner’s syrup, sorbitol, sorghum syrup, sucrose, sugar, xylitol, yellow sugar and ethyl maltol. The term ‘no sugar added’ or ‘sugar free’ can also be misleading. Sugar free could mean that the product is sweetened with artificial and other types of sweeteners. No sugar added products may still contain naturally occurring sugars such as fructose.
