RE: Sugar Baby!

in #health7 years ago

Glucose and fructose are broken down differently and fructose, table sugar has a negative impact on the liver

While all forms of simple sugars are broken down by your body into glucose, refined sugar is supplied in a way that causes negative health consequences when eaten to excess. Refined sugar is added to all sorts of processed foods to make them taste better. Even foods you may not consider sweet, like pasta sauces and ketchup, often contain significant amounts of refined sugar.

Sugary drinks are the primary source of refined sugar in the American diet, followed by sweet snacks. These foods lack beneficial vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein and fiber. You end up getting the sugar, but missing out on the vital nutrients you need to remain healthy. This is the primary problem with added sugars, not how your body breaks them down.
