Excellent article. We have to follow and avoid sugar. Thanks dr sahab.
Actually, topic is much more complex. Yes, sugar is the poison, I recommend watching this excellent speech of Dr. Lustig: Sugar, the bitter truth (1.5 hour long but well worth watching)
But too much we are focusing only on sugar. Carbohydrates is what we should be looking at as a whole group. We should be consuming much less carbohydrates than we do. That's where the problem is.
Body can get needed energy from three sources:
Many thousands of years our main source of energy were fats and proteins. Lately they are carbohydrates. It is that simple.
Yes, but the point is that fructose in fruits is not as bad as raw white sugar, because it digests more slowly, thus there are less insulin spikes. And besides fats and proteins, fruits were definitely part of our diet. Not only humans, but almost all primates eat fruits.
Of course, concentrated sugar is worse. Fruits are beneficial because of the vitamins and fiber. And fiber in the fruit partially offset it's bad part - fructose. But you still have to watch total carbohydrates intake.
Eating too much sugar causes weight gain, abdominal obesity .It increases uric acid levels. We should take average quantity of everything...
You are absolutely right @hamzayousaf :)
