What Harm Does Sugar Cause?
What Harm Does Sugar Cause?
As for sugar’s reputed adverse health effects, the following can be said on the basis of available evidence:
Obesity. Sugar supplies 4 calories per gram (113 per ounce) – the same as protein and less than half that of fat, which provides 9 calories per gram. Excess calorie intake, not sugar, causes obesity. But since calories can be highly concentrated in sugar-sweetened foods, you may eat many more calories than you need of such foods before you feel full or even realize how much you have consumed. Compare the satiety value of, say, three bananas with that of a two-ounce candy bar; both have about the same carbohydrate content. Fructose, the primary sugar in fruits, is 50 percent sweeter than sucrose, and so fewer fructose calories are needed to obtain the same degree of sweetness. However, the use of fructose in nutritionally deficient sweet foods does little to improve their health value.
Sugar : Too Much of a Bad Thing
Sugar : Too Much of a Bad Thing
Sugar proponents call it quick energy, opponents say it’s empty calories. To the average American, who consumes a third of a pound of it each day, sugar is mostly an irresistibly good taste. Human societies have long equated sweetness with goodness – sweet mystery of life, sweet smell of success, sweetheart – and that enhances the attraction.
People seem to have an innate “sweet tooth.” If saccharin is injected into the womb, the fetus will increase its swallowing of the sweetened amniotic fluid. Newborn rats given a choice will consume sugar water in preference to a nutritious diet, even to the point of malnutrition and death.
