What foods are harmful to the human body?

We all love to eat sugar, which is commonly known as carbohydrates. Sometimes people with anemia should eat more sugar, but eating too much sugar can also harm our health. Since childhood, adults have advised us to eat less sugar, otherwise it will be bad for our teeth. However, the harm of sugar to the human body is not limited to teeth. So what are the harms of sugar to the human body? Let's learn about it together.

The existence of sweets is always a temptation for us. The World Health Organization (WHO) once investigated the causes of death of the population in 23 countries and concluded that the harm of sugar addiction is worse than smoking. Long-term consumption of high-sugar foods will significantly shorten a person's lifespan, and put forward the slogan of "quitting sugar". However, in recent years, the Chinese people's sugar consumption has remained high, and the harm of eating sugar has not been recognized by more people. It is difficult to completely refuse to eat sugar. So how much sugar should we eat in our daily life and what kind of sugar is healthier? It is best not to exceed 40 grams per day.

The concept of "sugar" can be divided into broad and narrow meanings. Therefore, it is very common for some children and young women who like to eat desserts, biscuits, snacks and drinks to consume more than 100 grams of white sugar every day. However, nutritionists recommend that the total daily intake of white sugar is about 30 to 40 grams, which means it should not exceed 10% of the total daily carbohydrate intake. What does 30-40 grams of white sugar mean? Among the sweets that people often eat, a large spoonful of jam contains about 15 grams of sugar, a can of cola contains about 37 grams of sugar, 3 small pieces of chocolate contain about 9 grams of sugar, 1 ice cream roll contains about 10 grams of sugar, and a few biscuits contain about 10 grams of sugar... If you are not careful, the quantity limit of 30-40 grams of sugar is very easy to break.

Eating too much sugar can cause fractures. The purity of refined white sugar is very high, reaching more than 99%, which means that it contains almost no other nutrients, only a lot of energy. Eating too much sweets will cause people to feel full due to excessive energy intake, which will affect the intake of other foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. If things go on like this for a long time, it will lead to nutritional deficiencies, developmental disorders, obesity and other diseases. On the other hand, the metabolism of white sugar in the body requires the consumption of a variety of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, eating sugar frequently can 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 rates; American nutritionists also point out that children who love to eat sweets have a higher fracture rate.
