In the modern world, sugar is called “white death” and often call to completely abandon its use. But doctors believe that approval of the enormous damage of this product are greatly exaggerated.
In particular, scientific experts from Harvard University advise you not to go to extremes and do not consider the simple carbohydrates the culprits of excess weight and health problems. Obesity and health problems arise not because a person eats sugar, mostly, they provoke constant overeating combined with a sedentary lifestyle.
According to experts, the failure of simple carbohydrates increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. An experiment on mice showed that those rodents who were fed exclusively with fats and proteins, distinguished by a lean physique and at the same time some of the worst health indicators. In animals that have not received a single grain of sugar, the walls of the blood vessels have lost elasticity and become brittle, which meant a significant increase in the risk of development of vascular disorders.
The researchers stated that the sugar is involved in many processes in the body, the result of which is the synthesis of the neurotransmitter dopamine, responsible for mood. A complete rejection of sugar will contribute to the deficiency of this substance, thereby making the body more susceptible to stress, and this leads to many other diseases.
“Sugar must be present in the diet, as glucose is synthesized in the body from sugar, is an extremely important nutrient and a unique source of energy. Completely abandoning the sweet, you make my body work in a stressful mode, which is associated with the most serious health consequences,” warned scientists.
According to the American heart Association, physically active women need to consume about 6 teaspoons of sugar and men about 9 teaspoons.
