Diabetes and obesity is probably the modern people that the disease is currently the more number of patients. The experts suggested that we be aware because of the sweet sugar intake is the primary cause of diabetes and obesity.
"The sugar calories in a far more dangerous," said the researchers in a report his research published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
The research team conducts reviews of the literature to determine if any specific materials that are far more dangerous than the other in terms of causing diabetes. The research was also intended to see if all calories are the same.
To do this, they look at the effects of carbohydrate calories that are similar. They compare between starch, glucose and lactose on additional sugar as sucrose and fructose, which is found naturally in fruit. But most people consume carbohydrates as sweeteners, such as high fructose corn syrup and are usually added into food and drinks.
They found that adding sugar in food and drink will give you a more dangerous impact. Fructose is associated with deterioration in the level of insulin in the body and cause glucose tolerance, which is the deciding factor pre-diabetic condition.
Custom mengasup of sugar will cause dangerous fat deposits in the belly. Viseral fat deposits in the belly is a marker for poor health conditions, such as the problem of inflammation and high blood pressure. "This study clearly shows that sugar is the main culprit in diabetic issues," said James j. DiNicolantonio, a scientist of cardiovascular research at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute.
DiNicolantonio and his colleagues say the dietary guidelines now recommend levels of consumption is dangerous because the sugar is not healthy.
The Institute of Medicine said, 25 percent of the total calories that we consume comes from sugar, and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans said 19 percent of calories from added sugars are still recommended.
The guidelines were very far from the recommendations of the American Heart Association, which limits no more than 6 teaspoons of sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons of sugar for men. The who's own proposed additional sugar can produce up to 5 percent of total daily calories a person.
"The study we did showed, if sugar intake we reach 18 percent, compared with only 5 percent of total calories, then there is a two-fold increase in the occurrence of prediabetes and diabetes," he said.
This is not the first time sugar was crowned as the main cause of health problems in America. Other researchers also submit that the use of refined carbohydrates such as sugar is the cause of health problems that are often encountered.
"It should be understood that it is not just about the excess calorie consumption and lead to obesity or diabetes. We need to really change it. Refined carbs and sugar up to trigger insulin resistance and diabetes, as well as obesity, "he said.
He hopes policy makers could stop subsidizing corn is made into high fructose corn syrup contains the price is cheap. The Government, according to him, should promote healthy eating patterns by way of consuming whole foods because processed foods usually contain a lot of sugar.
Sweet foods and drinks according to him should also be banned from sale in schools or hospitals. Labeling warning on the packaging also felt the need to increase public awareness of the dangers of sugar
