Sweeteners: The trap of "sugar free"

Too much sugar, or even sugar, is a problem that affects a large part of the population. Not long ago, Agristat announced that between 1850 and 2014, the average consumption of sugars per inhabitant increased from 3 to 39kg ... So, should it be limited on a daily basis? Probably, but still it is necessary to know how to decrypt the labels of the products ...

Sometimes misleading labels
These are often misleading and the big world of agribusiness profits from the credulity of the consumer, who is not necessarily an expert in nutrition, to make him swallow food stamped so-called "without sugar", but finally even more dangerous than those who are drunk.

Recently a young man despaired of gaining weight and no longer succeed in getting rid of his bulges ... In the conversation he explained to me that he consumed daily and all day long a drink without sugar. The site of this brand boasts of being a drink without preservatives or sugar, but on closer inspection, we find in its composition of maltodextrin and sucralose.


No difference for the brain

Despite this subterfuge, insulin will still be released continuously. This hormone will act in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It will then inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses in such a way that the energy expenditure will be greatly reduced with the result that lipolysis (fat degradation) is greatly reduced, which automatically will promote overweight, obesity and also diabetes.

Note that the cerebral area surrounding the hypothalamus is among the regions of the head that are not fully protected by the blood-brain barrier. Ideal for sweeteners to infiltrate perniciously ...

If sugar can become a drug, sweeteners are certainly a synthetic drug.

In children, in addition to easily gaining weight, skeletal growth defects and reproductive disorders are also manifestations related to the consumption of sweeteners, not to mention the significant decrease in satiety.

By playing on the words, these companies play mostly on the ills of their customers and it is simply scandalous!
