Diabetic people and sugar-free foods

Due to the increase in the number of diabetics this year, there are many sugar-free foods and hypoglycemic foods on the market. It seems that sugar-free foods are healthy foods. Here is a reminder to consumers: When choosing sugar-free foods, be careful to figure out what the sweet taste of sugar-free foods is.

In addition to sugar (cane sugar, beet sugar), corn syrup and honey, there are more than a dozen kinds of sweeteners approved by the State, mainly chemical synthetic sweeteners. Chemically synthesized sweeteners do not provide any energy and nutrients and can only meet the taste requirements. Excessive consumption can also affect the health of the body, so-called sugar-free foods, and only general use of "sweeteners" is indicated on food labels. "Unique sweeteners", "protein sugars" and other very unstandardized names, without indicating the true chemical name of sweeteners. Last year, 11 samples of so-called protein sugar sampled by relevant departments were not qualified, and all of them were compounded with saccharin and sugar.

Therefore, if you have diabetes at home, it is advisable to use sugar-free foods carefully to avoid passive consumption of chemical synthetic sweeteners such as saccharin. Not only does not have the hypoglycemic effect, but brings other troubles to the body instead.
