It is best not to exceed 40 grams a day.
The concept of "sugar" has broad sense and narrow sense. Sugar in a broad sense refers to various digestible carbohydrates, including sweet sugar and starch without sweetness; Sugar in a narrow sense refers to refined white sugar and syrup commonly used in food and beverage processing. The harm of sugar to human body is mainly the latter.
Almost all sweets contain a lot of sweeteners made of white sugar or syrup. Therefore, it is very common for some children and young women who like to eat desserts, biscuits, snacks and drinks to consume more than100g of sugar every day. However, the total amount of sugar recommended by nutritionists is about 30-40 grams per day, that is, it should not exceed 10% of the total daily carbohydrate intake.
What is the concept of 30-40 grams of sugar? Among the sweets that people often eat, the sugar content of a spoonful of jam is about 15g, that of 1 can of cola is about 37g, that of three small pieces of chocolate is about 9g, that of 1 can of ice cream is about 10g, and that of several biscuits is about10g.
Eating too much polysaccharide can lead to fractures.
The purity of refined sugar is very high, which can reach more than 99%, that is to say, it contains almost no other nutrients and only a lot of energy. If you eat too much sweets, you will feel full, because too much energy will affect the intake of other foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. In the long run, it will lead to diseases such as nutritional deficiency, developmental disorder and obesity.
On the other hand, the metabolism of sugar in the body needs to consume a variety of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, eating sugar often will cause nutritional problems such as vitamin deficiency, calcium deficiency and potassium deficiency. Japanese nutritionists believe that children eating too much sweets is an important reason for the increase in fracture rate; American nutritionists also pointed out that children who love sweets have a higher fracture rate.
Nutrition survey also found that although eating sugar may not directly lead to diabetes, long-term consumption of sweets will lead to excessive insulin secretion, disorder of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, resulting in imbalance of human internal environment, which will further promote the occurrence of various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, senile cataracts, dental caries, myopia, rickets and so on. Eating more sweets will also make human blood tend to be acidic, which is not conducive to blood circulation and weakens the defense function of the immune system.
Extended data
Sucrose should not be taken in large quantities.
Sucrose is the highest calorie carbohydrate. Excessive intake can cause obesity, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and dental caries.
It is not advisable to eat a lot on an empty stomach.
British scientists have found that eating a lot of sugar on an empty stomach will suddenly raise blood sugar, destroy the balance between acid and alkali and various beneficial microorganisms in the body, and is not conducive to human health.
Excessive consumption affects children's development.
Eating too much sugar will affect the consumption of body fat and cause fat accumulation; Eating too much sugar can also affect calcium metabolism. Some scholars believe that if the sugar consumption reaches 16- 18% of the total food consumption, the calcium metabolism in the body will be disordered and the calcification in the body will be hindered. A survey in Japan shows that the fracture rate of children has increased, and they think that too much sugar is an important cause of fracture.
Eating too much sugar will make people feel full and have poor appetite, which will affect food intake and lead to various nutrient deficiencies. Children's long-term high-sugar diet directly affects the growth and development of children's bones, leading to rickets. If children eat too much sugar and don't pay attention to oral hygiene, it provides good conditions for the growth and reproduction of oral bacteria, which is easy to cause dental caries and oral ulcers.
In order to avoid diseases such as dental caries, myopia, rickets and digestive tract, the World Health Organization appeals to parents not to let their children eat too many sweets.
Sugar is one of the important substances for human survival.
Sugar is one of the three nutrients in human body and the main source of heat energy. The heat energy provided by sugar accounts for about 60 ~ 70% of the total heat energy needed by human body. Except cellulose, all sugars are sources of heat energy.
Sugar is the most abundant organic compound in nature. Sugar mainly exists in cereals, cereals, potatoes, beans, rice flour products, vegetables and fruits in various forms of starch, sugar and cellulose. It accounts for about 80% of its dry matter in plants, and the sugar in animal food is very small, accounting for about 2% of its dry matter.
Excessive consumption can easily lead to related diseases.
Some experts believe that sugar is more harmful to human body than cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. The World Health Organization has investigated the causes of death in 23 countries, and concluded that sugar addiction is more harmful than smoking, and long-term consumption of foods with high sugar content will shorten people's life span by 20 years. Therefore, in 1995, the World Health Organization put forward a new slogan of "global sugar ban". A survey by the World Health Organization found that eating too much sugar can lead to heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebral hemorrhage and diabetes.
Long-term high-sugar diet will make the internal environment of human body unbalanced, and then cause various hazards to human health. Because sugar is an acidic substance, eating too much sugar will change the pH of human blood, present an acidic constitution, weaken the resistance of human white blood cells to external viruses, and make people susceptible to various diseases.
People who love sweets for a long time are likely to cause a variety of eye diseases. Experts also suggested that senile cataracts are also related to excessive sweets. They investigated 50 cataract patients and found that 34% of them have the habit of eating sweets, which they think is related to the disorder of glucose metabolism.
The harm of sugar
As for eating candy, some people like to hold a piece of candy for several minutes, which is actually a bad habit. Because there is a kind of lactic acid bacteria in human mouth, it can ferment sugar to produce lactic acid. The longer sugar is held in the mouth, the more lactic acid is produced, and the greater the chance of dental caries.
You shouldn't eat too much sugar.
Generally speaking, "sugar" usually refers to free sugar, that is, added sugar, including glucose, sucrose (granulated sugar, brown sugar), syrup and so on. , which belongs to monosaccharide and disaccharide in chemical structure. Each gram of sugar contains about 4 calories. If you eat too much sugar, you can't consume it in time, and the extra calories will be converted into fat. In addition, excessive intake of foods and drinks containing added sugar will lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar, leading to an increase in insulin in the blood; Insulin can make the body store fat more effectively, cause obesity and increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.
