RESEARCH: ELIMINATING ADDED SUGARS 2Research: Added Sugars, Obesity, Diabetes, and Heart Disease The ideology behind the intake of added sugars to one’s diet can cause the effect of increased risk for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease is a controversial topic. While there is extensive research and theories by many researchers in the scientific community to support the adverse effects of added sugars to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, at the same time, there are not many randomized, controlled trials to prove the researchers’ theories
Sugars are carbohydrates that provide the body with energy, our body’s fuel. Sugar receives a negative stigma in the media due to the vast obesity problem in Australia but the intake of sugar is a requirement for a healthy diet due to glucose being the preferred fuel or energy source for cells, and therefore sugar being highly nourishing. The nervous system, brain and red blood cells have a compulsory need for glucose as a source of energy. Even when sleeping, the human body still requires energy to function. Sugar will always be present in today’s society so it is up to the consumer to monitor and regulate the amount of daily intake.

Consuming to much sugar has downfalls, which involves more than extra calorie intake. As society added sugars to foods, beyond the recommended daily intake, people have developed sugar-addiction. Researchers have identified these sugar-addictions. As an addict, there are signs that can help determine if there is a sugar-addiction. Unfortunately, there are hidden sugars that even someone trying to eat health may not be aware. There is a reason why we call them hidden sugars, on food labels the words can be common wording or use chemical names. Even artificial sugar substitutes are not the answer to stop the craving for sugar. Like with many addictions there are consuqueses that effect health, but with the help of a professional, there are solutions
Abstract: High fructose corn syrup (HFCS), like many other unhealthy constituents that are used in foods, is cheap and retains the taste of the natural products it emulates, possibly even surpassing them in many areas. However, experiments have shown that fructose is not an ideal sugar for human consumption, not to mention the fact that the use of GM ingredients can be dangerous. In order to prevent the continued consumption of this noxious sugar, food producers should use healthy alternative sweeteners to prevent the further dependence on HFCS in our foods and drinks.
What effects does sugar have in the human body? People would prefer to eat a piece of cake than a broccoli salad because it is more delicious and it gives pleasure. But people should think about the harmful effects that sugar has in their body. The effects could be dangerous, it includes, health diseases, learning problems, or anxiety and stress. First, when people eat a lot of sugar, they could get health diseases like diabetes. This disease is one of the first reasons for deaths in the world. It includes, collateral illnesses such as hypertension, kidney’s insufficiency and problems on diabetic feet. So diabetic people must not eat sugar unless they had lower sugar levels after a long time exercising. In this case
Dietary sugar consumption has gained prominence as a highly controversial subject at present in regards to public health due to the significantly high level of added sugar intake in the western world among both adults and children (Wittekind and Walton 2014). The dietary sugar fructose in particular has become an area of great interest in the field of nutrition and health (Feinman and Fine 2013). Excessive consumption of any macronutrient or micronutrient has the potential to influence health outcomes, however fructose has been implemented as a significant contributor to the western world’s current health epidemic of cardiorenal disease which is characterised by obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, kidney disease and vascular disease (Collino 2011). The incidence of these diseases have grown to pandemic proportions and are continuously rising in the western world. Among the United States population, more than one-third of adults (34.9 %) and one-sixth of children are affected by obesity, 24.5 % of adults are affected by hypertension (CDC 2014), 8.5 % of adults are affected by diabetes, 22.9 % adults are affected by metabolic syndrome, 1.8 % adults are affected by kidney disease and 10.9 % of adults are affected by cardiovascular disease (http://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Health_Statistics/NCHS/NHIS/SHS/2014_SHS_Table_A-4.pdf). Not only are these diseases a huge medical burden they also are an economic burden and because of this, the metabolic effects of dietary fructose are of immense interest.
Anne Alexander, an editorial director of Prevention Magazine, published a diet book three years ago, The Sugar Smart Diet, which reveals the potential cause of the epidemic of obesity and provides feasible diets for weight loss. Alexander believes that added sugar directly contributes to continuous weight gain in modern people. Over the past 40 years, the consumption of added sugar has increased dramatically in processed foods, and the refined sugars have become critical and ubiquitous additives for the food industry to enhance flavor and promote sales. At the same time, the number of obese Americans climbed sharply as well (Harvard Health Letter, 2006). Therefore, Alexander reached the conclusion that the food supply “sugarjacked” people and sugar overload became a public health crisis that might result in obesity and many other diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Specifically, she stressed the strong adverse effects of fructose on body weight regulation. Fructose is usually added to foods in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is the primary caloric sweetener in America and is one of the main focuses of this diet book and this paper.
For many reasons, society is restructuring the way they eat; in light of this healthier trend we must reinvent many of the traditional comfort foods to meet our nutritional requirements.
Much debate has occurred regarding whether sugar is good or bad for your health. Whilst some sugar is important for the body’s functions, too much sugar can cause major problems. Tooth decay for example, is an issue that mainly affects children and young adolescents, however can cause prolonged effects such as gum disease or tooth sensitivity. Diseases associated with the high consumption of sugar, such as diabetes and obesity, can result in drastic lifestyle changes if not addressed. Addiction is also an issue that can lead to health problems later in life. These health risks need to be addressed as early as possible in order for long-term health problems to be avoided.
In the article “The Bitter truth about sugar and its effects on our health”, it states that “the new paradigm hypothesizes that too much sugar does not just make you fat; it can also make us sick”. Today researchers are still studying that people are not only getting sick but they are suffering
Mean intake of total fructose as a percentage oftotal energy increased from 8.1% in 1978 to 9.1% in2004, and thisincrease was due to increases in fructose from sugarsand sweeteners and not from naturally occurringfructose in fruit which rather decreased in all age groups.7 The major source of fructose in thediet comes from fructose-containing sugars(sucrose and HFCS) largely in the form ofadded sugar.Since the glucose intake and fructose intake co-varies , epidemiological studiescannot completely differentiate between the
The authors, Raatz, Johnson and Picklo, based out of the University of Minnesota, performed an experiment to test three popular nutrient sugars on glucose tolerant and intolerant individuals: honey, sucrose, and HFCS. HFCS is said to be the worse sweetener for health on the market followed by sucrose. On the other hand honey is thought to be the ‘natural’ sweetener based on its supposed ability to provide the body with
