Many people view sugar as \u00abwhite poison<\/strong>\u00bb. For years, nutritionists, physicians and researchers have warned that we must significantly reduce our sugar consumption. But just how harmful is sugar really? Are there healthy alternatives<\/strong>? And how do we use sugar alternatives? We would like to provide you with some answers to these questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How unhealthy is sugar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commonly used household sugar (sucrose) consists of glucose and fructose. It is not only used in its granular form to sweeten tea, coffee and cakes, but it is also found in countless foods, including those you would not suspect, such as crispbread. Consuming large amounts of sugar over an extended period of time can result in illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike protein, fats and complex carbohydrates from wholegrain products or vegetables, it is the glucose in household sugar that quickly drives blood sugar levels through the roof. The glucose consumed with our food and beverages corresponds to blood sugar \u2013 both are monosaccharides (simple sugars). It must not, as is the case with lactose, which is a disaccharide, first be split; rather, it makes its way directly into the blood stream. In doing so, it causes the pancreas to suddenly produce insulin. If we allow this mix of high blood sugar levels and too much insulin to occur time and again, the result can include a whole range of negative consequences: along with obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetes, impaired vision, skin and bowel diseases and coronary heart diseases are just some of the illnesses frequently associated with the excessive consumption of sugar. This is why the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a significant reduction of sugar consumption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
