How sweet it is. . .or is it? You've already noticed that there is a not-so-sweet side to the white stuff: Sugar is the No. 1 ingredient (in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), fructose, or glucose) in foods. But sugar (1) typically delivers a load of calories with little to no nutrition; therefore, (2) it can stoke your appetite rather than satisfy it, and (3) it can even become addictive: By constantly eating sugar, you force your pancreas to work overtime, and as you eat more, it pumps out massive amounts of insulin--eventually, your body may become less sensitive to sugar and build up a resistance to it. The Women's Health magazine website has a ton of tips to avoid sugar shock in an article called "Sugar Overload." http://www.womenshealthmag.com/nutrition...
A host of diseases--diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, dehydration--have been linked to excess sugar/glucose intake. Despite this fact, simple sugars (such as HFCS) are being used 42 percent more in our foods than they were in 1970, when they were used only two percent of the time.
Want to level out your sugar habit? Read labels for a week and jot down how much sugar you're taking in--you'll probably find that it far exceeds the approximately 10 percent of your daily caloric intake the federal dietary guidelines recommend (that's about 20 grams, or five teaspoons, per 1,000 calories consumed). Working out also helps keep you level, because exercising lowers your blood sugar because your muscles burn glucose when you move.
When staring down that jelly doughnut or that piece of fruit, remember that not all forms are created equal: There are more than 100 different names for sugar, but the three main sub-categories--fructose, HFCS, and artificial sweeteners--have different effects.
Fructose, found in fruit and vegetables, doesn't make you immediately feel as if you need another sugar hit, because of the fiber and other nutrients in those foods. HFCS found in countless packaged food are a form you want to avoid as much as possible. Artificial sweeteners aren't any better than HFCS. Studies have found that rats ate more after consuming an artificially sweetened drink than they did after sipping sugar water. Researchers speculate that calorie-free artificial sweeteners act like stomach teasers: As you swallow diet soda, your body anticipates the arrival of calories. When they don't show up, your body sends you looking elsewhere for them, often in a snack bowl.
