RE: The Type of Sugar, In Addition to Amount Consumed Determines Negative Health Outcomes
Very nice post and easy to follow!
I think that the main problem related to sugar consumption is that sugar is present in many industry products, even in tiny amounts. And this counts way more, at least in my opinion, that the plain sugar that one would eat. This being said, it is very complicated and requires a lot of work to control his or her sugar consumption.
Well all that sugar contains fructose which is the real negative causitive agent here. So no that is not the problem, it's all sugar. What sugar being in everything does is make it difficult to moderate our intake. Even if we may want.
I would say it is a tie, isn't? Both contribute to potential health problems.
Perhaps an easier route would be to begin looking for alternative sugars to fructose. Though the best route would be to demand sugar not be added to everything we buy.
If we can convince the industry (but that sounds like a game lost in advance)....
People would have to speak with their wallets. That's the only voice the food industry would hear.
continuing here: I agree!
