Sugar is not a drug

Too much sugar is bad, and we are pretty much all about it. Of course, we should also establish objective parameters for that too much. More than a teaspoon a day? Surely. More than a pound a day? Here, let’s say that taking a hectogram of sugar a day is not for everyone therefore already a hectogram or too much. So let’s start by saying how much too much sugar is too much with particular reference to sedentary individuals.
According to the World Health Organization , exceeding ten percent of total daily calories in sugar is already too much.

Here too, we are talking about an approximate figure, which probably takes into account the fact that our diet already includes forms of complex carbohydrates, so it is always too much in reference to a balanced diet and in sedentary subjects.
Let’s just take the given point for granted.
I eat about 2,000 calories, so up to 200 calories of simple sugars are okay in a healthy diet.
How can I calculate them? Well, fruit gives me simple sugars, and the simple sugars of biscuits, snacks, snacks and the like are also to be calculated, same thing for honey and for natural calorie sweeteners. By adding the simple sugars of all these products, I must not exceed the 200 calories. Are we all here so far?
Go on.

We have all heard (again) that eating too much sugar is bad for example, it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. of debate, while it is clear that not all simple sugars are the same. For example, an excess of fructose can cause an excess of triglycerides and a greater risk of disease, and many of the sugars added in snacks have fructose as the main simple sugar.
So why do we generally say that all sugar is bad?
Generally we say this for two reasons: one, they are often extra calories, precisely because the sweet treat is added to what we already eat.
This is the first big problem. The second problem is that if we tend to eat too many carbohydrates, for example if we eat 70% of our daily caloric needs, we are likely to tend to gain more weight. Only probable though.

After hearing all of this, you can debunk the phrase “sugar is like drugs” for yourself.
A sensational nonsense. And now I’ll explain why.
