Nutrition specialists emphasize that the greatest risk of consuming a diet high in sugar is "that it makes you gain weight." However, it is also not true that it causes diabetes and a thousand other things. The sugar is one hundred percent refined carbohydrate and a very high sugar diet will make you gain weight, but completely excluding it from your diet is also harmful.

The key is to find a middle ground.

Benefits of sugar Nutritionists highlight that although sugar does not provide any nutrients, apart from sucrose, which will turn into glucose and provide energy. Sugar is a great instant source of easily assimilable energy. Nevertheless, these energy contributions can also come from other types of foods, such as fruits. Regarding honey or brown sugar, it is emphasized that they are much better than refined sugar, but nothing out of this world, so it is not advisable to completely cut sugar intake. Addiction There are times when the need to consume sugar resembles more of an addiction than a mere preference; however, nutritionists indicate that there is no such thing, but rather a need for energy, as the glycemic index is high, so consuming sugar quickly makes you feel good because the absorption is very high. For example, the sugar contained in soft drinks is a very high-calorie source, which provides us the most. Nevertheless, following a high-fat diet is much riskier than one rich in sugar. Excesses Obesity from excessive sugar intake is due to the fact that in previous decades, diets were much more balanced, including vegetables, carbohydrates, proteins, etc. Currently, the problem lies in the fact that people have changed their eating habits. The current caloric content in a single meal fulfills the requirement for the entire day. And speaking of junk food, it is much worse due to the amount of sugars it contains. In Mexico, for example, the biggest problem is malnutrition with obesity. That is, excess accumulation with a deficiency of vitamins and nutrients.
