Title: We should avoid sugar
Post by: Sima on February 02, 2013, 09:11:02 AM

We should avoid sugar because it is as damaging and addictive as alcohol or tobacco and should be regulated, claim health experts.The consumption of sugar has tripled worldwide over the past 50 years, with links to obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes.Several countries are imposing taxes on unhealthy food; Denmark and Hungary have a tax on saturated fat, while France has approved a tax on soft drinks."Now, researchers are proposing similar policies for added sugar and sweeteners, amid concern about the amount of sugar in the diet."If we tax fat, salt and sugar, combined with subsidies for fruit and vegetables, you'll get healthier diets.

Sugar is d simpl form of carbohydrate,one kind of disaccaride which is convrtd into glucose when it is being started to digest. We knw tht glucose is d brain food it gives direct fuel to brain to work n keep d brain cell active. So its nt lyk tht u couldnt take d sugar atall bt should in limit. Before d age of 30,u cn take maxmum 5 tea spoon of sugar daily. Bt aftr 30,it u have no health prblm (lyk diabetes) u cn take 2-3 tea spoon daily,its nt so harmful rather it would blnc d electrolytes level or body buffer systm. Thank u for d post
