Artificial sugar increases the risk of diabetes

The Dhaka Times Desk The popularity of artificial sugar as a diet sugar is increasing worldwide. But a recent study shows that this diet sugar, or NAS-non-calorific artificial sugar, increases the risk of diabetes. The study by Israeli researchers was published in the journal Nature.

Many doctors around the world advise people with type 2 diabetes or people with high blood glucose levels to take artificial sugar to prevent obesity. In addition, cake and beverage manufacturers use artificial sugar instead of sugar in the preparation of sweetened foods according to diabetes warnings all over the world. But in this situation, a group of researchers from Israel's Weizmann Health Institute found through research that this NAS or artificial sugar increases the risk of diabetes in people. The main researchers of this study were researchers Eran Elyanov and Eran Segal of this institute.
The research paper says that our use of this artificial sugar to prevent diabetes may increase the risk of diabetes. Because these NAS sugars create an artificial taste on our tongue but as they are non-soluble they go straight to the gut without breaking down on the tongue. This destroys the composition and efficiency of the gut bacteria in the stomach to carry out the digestive process. As a result, glucose chaos increases. Blood sugar increases. The researchers conducted a survey of 381 people to conduct this experiment as well as experimental tests on mice. 381 people were screened for routine health information. It turns out that they are suffering from glucose chaos due to consuming too much artificial sugar. Which increases their risk of diabetes.

The researchers then tested seven selected volunteers. They are selected from people who do not consume artificial sugar in normal conditions. Then they were administered artificial sugar at prescribed doses for seven days. After five days, all the volunteers were found to be in glucose chaos. As a result, the researchers concluded that artificial sugar is harmful to people with diabetes. But the Hindustan Times, citing AFP, says that a decision against artificial sugar cannot be made now unless the experiment is carried out on a larger scale and the same results are obtained.
