Some people may have noticed that regarding sugar substitutes, the article only mentions artificial sugar substitutes, and does not mention natural sugar substitutes. In fact, the mainstream view in the scientific community is that artificial sugar substitutes are more harmful to the body and have the risk of inducing diabetes. However, natural sugar substitutes are relatively safe. Take erythritol as an example. It does not stimulate the secretion of insulin, nor does it affect blood sugar, and has little effect on triglycerides and cholesterol. There is no change when it is absorbed from the intestines into the human body and finally excreted through the kidneys. However, scientific development is a spiral process, and there may be a process of constantly overturning and drawing new conclusions. For example, when artificial sweeteners were first invented, everyone thought it was safer, but later, as the research deepened, its disadvantages were also discovered. In short, according to current research, sweeteners are better than added sugars, and natural sweeteners are better than artificial sweeteners. If you can't let go of sweetness, it's okay to choose natural sweeteners. However, the research on natural sweeteners is not sufficient, so no matter what sugar-free beverage you are facing, it is best to maintain appropriate restraint. |
