The Dhaka Times Desk Artificial sugar has been frowned upon by many. These artificial sugar powders or tablets have a place in the daily diet of many diabetic patients. But is artificial sugar in the diet really healthy?
Whether the goal is to lose weight or stay healthy, many people today don't like adding added sugar to their cooking. Foods containing sugar like sweets, cakes, chocolates, soft drinks are also avoided by many people. Doctors have repeatedly reminded us how much refined sugar or sugar harms the body. Not only calories increase, but various problems such as acne, loss of skin elasticity, reduced immunity or hair loss also arise from sugar. So in recent times, sugar is also called 'slow poison' in the language of science.
However, the food-loving Bengalis cannot live without this sugar. If there is an event, if there is no post of sweets at home, do not freeze! Morning-afternoon tea or coffee should not be eaten without sugar. Many people in the family miss out on cooking if there is no sugar in special curries and pulses. That's why many people look for alternatives to sugar. Some artificial alternatives like 'Sugar Free' or 'Zero Cal' are readily available in the market. Artificial sugar has become a place in many people's minds. These artificial sugar powders or tablets have also found a place in the daily diet of many diabetic patients. But is it healthy to eat this artificial sugar in the daily diet?
Indian nutritionist Reshmi Roy Chowdhury said in this regard, "All the artificial sugars available in the market contain compounds called aspartame and sucralose." These compounds are what give artificial sugar its sweetness. They are not at all good for the body. Aspartame is more harmful than sucralose. These two compounds also have harmful effects on various organs of the body such as the heart, brain and nerves. It creates negative electrons in the body, which is not good at all for health. Eating too much of anything artificial is not good for the body, artificial sugar should be consumed in moderation. Starting from tea in the morning, all day cooking and even milk or pies, everyone uses this type of sugar to make the sugar feel sweet. It can also cause serious damage to your body. So excessive consumption of artificial sugar should not be consumed at all.
But exactly how much will not harm the body? Nutritionist Reshmi's clear answer, "When buying artificial sugar from the market, check which company's sugar has lower levels of aspartame." If consuming powdered artificial sugar, never consume more than half a teaspoon throughout the day. People with heart problems should avoid this type of sugar. One must be aware of artificial sugar in weight loss diet, otherwise danger may occur.” Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
