- The science of sugar - TechKnow
The latest World Health Organization data indicates that 1.9 billion people worldwide are overweight, with 600 million considered obese. Sugar, in the form of processed, high-in-sugar foods are largely to blame.
Scientists around the world are making a desperate plea to stop an epidemic of obesity. But now, new research goes beyond fat to reveal a risk that could be even greater.
TechKnow explores the science of sugar at the Department of Molecular Bioscience School at the University of California-Davis where cutting-edge research is being done. The project, headed by Dr Kimber Stanhope, put healthy young adults in their 20s on a highly controlled sugary diet for 10 weeks and then measured the effects of that added sugar.
TechKnow explores the correlation between sugar intake and heart disease in young adults.

Nature: I don't remembering supplying that much sugar
Lol i know, right?😒
Desmond Low The thing is sugars (polysaccharides/carbohydrates) are organic compounds- which means they contain carbon. Carbon is a very important element composing an essential percentage of the atmosphere and human body. Sugars are important organic chemical compounds needed by the body to produce and store energy. The same energy we use to grow, develop, and move. I’m very confused as to what type of sugar is bad for the human body. I think 💭 bad sugars would refer to fructose (high fructose corn 🌽 syrup) or processed sugars. Organic sugars (unprocessed and natural) I feel would no way be unhealthy for the human body.
Correction - simple sugar, nature provides good complex sugar in abundance
Yes. We have totally distanced ourselves from nature, and have turned towards artificial and Junk Food.
We are eating a lot of processed food engineered in a lab and factory.
Too many food choices, NOT HEALTHY.
Onyi Aneke It dependes on the intake! Sugar is sugar, it’s glicose, the easiest way for our body to get energy. If it’s too much for our body to consume, the extra will be stocked, which means: extra pounds.
This is why I gave up drinking soft beverages two years ago. I used to have the ability to drink a liter of soda a day with the worst times up to 20 cans a day. I cut it cold turkey and lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks.
Dude, that's just crazy. Congrats on kicking the addiction!
Dude congrats I found soft drinks easy to give up coffee was oh boy hard but I finally did and it feels great save me lot of money now my big goal this year is reducing my sodium intake so far so good hate salty foods anyway haha
Ei, good job!! ^^
Drinks is easy.. it's chocolate that I get addicted to. Can't have it in moderation. Either none at all or too much.. :(
Well done im proud of you
I have been living 8 years sugar-free and I feel great, even my bitter espresso tastes so good.
Yeah, eat sugar and it will taste 10× better than your bitter espresso
@@p8t089 yeah, dont eat sugar and see your mood lift, increase confidence level, handling love instead or love handles and live a long life.
A school friend told me that if I didn't have sugar in hot beverages for two weeks, I'd never go back. That was in the late 1970's and I've never had sugar in beverages since.
real fruit is natures birthday cake
nature sucks, you should try cocaine.
You should try crack cocaine.
If you've got diabetes even nature can't help. You hafta reduce fresh fruit intake.
Nah dude you can´t eat so much fruit to get the amount of sugar in a cake.
Is stopped consuming added, refined sugar in January 2018 and lost 20 kilo's. I made a habit of avoiding refined sugar and seek healthy alternatives like normal fruits and dried fruits. You can make unrefined sugar from dates to still make cookies 🍪 ;).
Whoa 20kgs is massive weight-loss! Wish everyone was educated about the ill effects of sugar
Any cake recipe recommendations?
Icing included
Watch out with dry fruits it has hella sugar and usually not much fiber.
@@Sawwwll Didn't realize this. Not something I tend to eat because it is too sweet and unpleasantly chewy (lke a gummy bear) for me, your response makes sense re that.
There was a study done in the 1970s about the dangers of sugar. This was shot down by sugar lobbyists and the scientist was considered a pariah. Now, we’re suffering from the lobbyists’ selfishness.
ESSENTIAL? Fire whatever expert said that
you mean where she said glucose is essential right?
@@patrickuwuwiteka2339 she said sugar, not glucose, though it could be a simple semantics mistake.
Jaigarful but even even if she said glucose she is still wrong. Glucose is a part of carbohydrate group. And carbs all together are not an essential group of nutrients. The body can synthesize glucose if it needs it.
@@Jaigarful It is precisely this type of "loose" semantics that's keeping people fat and ignorant. Sugar has as many as 56 different names, and the food companies capitalize on people's ignorance. "No sugar added" is simply a misleading bit of marketing, when the item in question has high-fructose corn syrup and molasses, honey and agave nectar, but "no sugar." Most people stop at "No sugar added" and assume they're eating healthy. Rubbish!
It’s no wonder that Mexicans drink more soda, ... you can’t safely drink the water anywhere down there. And bottled water costs more than soda.
I stopped eating processed white sugar 3 months ago... Lost 10 pounds feeling good..... Did a liver detox as well and stay on top of it..... It's HARD...... Took about 7 weeks to get over the sugar cravings...... Withdrawal symptoms.... Ugh
sugar 8 times more addicted than cocane and heroin.
and it has many effects on insulin level which triggered fat storage in adipose tissue in our belly.
You tried cocaine lol
@@simon4082 I have
My best friend is type 1 diabetic. She's gone most of her life with doctors telling her that she can eat whatever she wants and as much sugar as she wants as long as she puts in enough insulin. It breaks my heart and angers me to no end that doctors can sell lies to people who are so vulnerable. "First, do no harm" is no longer applicable.
That's terrifying. My gf is also type 1 diabetic. She was taught not to eat sugars except on special occasions, and to limit starches to before exercise. I've seen her eat pasta and go for a two hour walk immediately afterwards to counter some of it before taking insulin. You'll just build up insulin tolerance if you eat lots of starch and sweets then take insulin. Better to avoid them except for rare treats.
Yes, the two of your would know better than medically trained doctors would. Sure.
The actual first rule is first, make a profit for the industry. Diabetics are good money for those who perform amputations, prescribe drugs, cardiologists, etc. That's why health "experts" overlooked sugar for 30+ years, focusing only on salt and fat, and still advocate sugar consumption via fruit even for those in a dangerous state of already advanced diabetes.
This ties in with how processed/refined/added sugars are more common in low-income food options.
Then we also heed to have a conversation about the addictive properties of these sugars.
it's low cost because it makes you hungry, for more forever more. hate the stupidity of capitalism
People dont care anymore about their health and it shows
I just avoid everything White, Sugar, White potatoes, Wheat, noodles. I have cured myself of diabetes.
And white men? 😆😆😆
@@arijitdassharma3005 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how that lady keeps repeating "scientists from Japan" as blame for HFCS. Here's some news for her, Japanese society doesn't have an obesity epidemic and they have the longest age span. Also they dont use HFCS. Blame your own government and industries
Actually, Japan is facing increasing obesity due to eating Western style fast food and sweets. The way the world is now what happens in one country will affect the rest regardless of geography. It is also a fact to say the HFCS was created in Japan. I'm not sure why you perceive factual statements as offensive. The fact is, that's where it was developed.
Japan has an unusually high rate of diabetes, though
@@shanohu
Not according to the International Diabetes Foundation. One of the lowest globally.
@@shanohu Asian countries in general have a disproportionately high diabetes rate compared to western countries, despite having much lower prevalence of overweight/obesity. South Korea, for example, has a 4% obese/30% overweight (including obese) rate while the U.S. has a 42% obese/73% overweight (including obese) rate. However, South Korea is estimated to have a 10.7% diabetes rate while the U.S. has a 10.5% diabetes rate. Part of the problem is that while weight is highly correlated with metabolic syndromes such as diabetes, Asians tend to have higher abdominal adiposity than white people - that is, Asians tend to carry more fat around the abdomen, especially fat around the organs. This is the worst kind of fat because it causes health issues, which is why Asian BMI indices are usually corrected to adjust for this higher predisposition toward metabolic syndrome (23 overweight cut-off versus 25, 27 obese cut-off versus 30). Asians need to be slimmer than white people to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. This at least partially explains why Asian countries have unusually high rates of diabetes relative to their rates of overweight/obesity.
@@shanohu If they don't get diabetes, they still face heart failure or a stroke because of the lethal amounts of sodium in their diet, found in miso soup, teriyaki, dried seafoods, etc.
that girl is a serious reader.Even in the lab she doesn't leave her book behind'I like her
Bread has loads of sugar in it, just like soda, chocolate bars, ice cream, etc... maybe the researcher should of compared the impact of sugar in the body to a natural food like beef, fish or chicken
I've been hearing from CBC that pork is eating our food wastes even m&m's….
Beef, fish and chicken are not natural foods
Glucose in bread is different from fructose and sucrose
I came from a culture of not having sugary food as a daily diet. Growing up, there's no desserts after meals and sweet snacks are considered as a very occasional treat.
Our children grew up the same way. My daughter was amazed how her friends have desserts everyday after dinner.
omg. you lose weight by being in a calorie defecite. sugar has NOTHING to do with weight gain. calories in, calories out
A piece of fruit is a great dessert option 👍🏼
This story about sugar and obesity is interesting, but I would like to see is an investigation into people who do not like sugar. The dislike of sugar runs in families and if that gene could be figured out perhaps those who are morbidly obese could take gene therapy instead of life threatening surgery.
Carol Kelly who doesnt like sugar if they normal??
Me. My son doesn't like it and neither did my father. Is it coincidence or inheritance? Obviously, the sample is too small. I can enjoy apples, watermelon, and bananas but fudge, figs, or sweet and sour pork causes coughing, like it, catches in my throat, and nausea. It is not pleasant so I have every reason to avoid it. If I crave sweet, as I believe we all do, I go into a bakery, sniff the smell of the sweets and that's enough to satisfy the craving.
I agree and have an aversion to sugar as well. Gives me headaches and I feel terrible about 1\2 hour after eating sugar.
@@carolkelly1290 interesting. Thanks for sharing.
gene therapy again where are the facts that you can at will modify genetics consequence free, give me a skinny gene, last genomic white blood disease therapy I heard of was 1million dollars a dose. The health business will never be focussed on cures, it's not economical. Sadly capitalism dictated stupidity in the past.
I love how the young lady always has a book in her hand.
Why did the researchers use aspartame in the study as a control group to contrast the effect of sugar? It feels like they are trying to say "sugary soda is bad for you, but as long as you switch to diet soda, there won't be any harm". Is this a subtle and intentional vindication of the notorious aspartame?
Shawn Su
The study was probably funded by Monsanto.
I've already posted about aspartame above. It's indeed not a great choice. But the study makes perfect sense. A soda sweetened with an artificial sweetener has virtually 0 calories. So can you compare with regular soda.
It is only a study, i'm sure they wouldn't recommend people drinking liters of sweetened soda.
Did you watch the video???
You got a point
It is so the study is blind - they don’t know if they are in the sugar group or not.
They did not talk about carbs. Because thats the biggest source of sugar.
T2 affected person cannot eat rice/wheat without increasing their sugar level.
They did talk about carbs! CARBohydrates, are the only source of sugar.
I think there was a lack of distinction between carbs and processed sugar. One is essential, one is not
Please note that she said "consumption of FREE sugar" was the problem. So stop demonizing sugar! There is nothing wrong with eating sugar still bound to its fibre
sugar is bad, minimize carbs, you'll lose lots of weight! keto 4 lyfe~
Nicocap X: 100%
Yeah, keto will increase your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Increase intake of saturated fat and cholesterol, animal protein. Low fat, whole foods diet is the healthiest diet on the planet.
Your caloric intake determines whether you'll lose 'weight'.
keto diet is the best!
I take carbs and Al hamdulillah I went from 105 to 65 kg's. Carbs are really good for body. It is the quantity of food and avid processed food
@0:50 "Health experts agree, in moderation, it's an 'essential' part of nutrition" Which experts are saying this? Sugar 'is not' an "essential part of nutrition". You can have a diet with 0 added sugars and be perfectly healthy. I'm calling BS on this introductory statement which just comes off as uninformed and paid for/influenced by a sugar company(ies).
I doubt it.. if that was the case then this docu wouldn't have been made..
Your brains preferred source of energy is glucose, which comes from table sugar and other carbohydrates. While I agree that limiting added sugar is wise, your body does need glucose, which is more or less their point.
Natural sugars found in food in general. Hopefully soon, food labels will distinguish the two categories of sugar, added sugar and natural. Right now they're all lumped as the same category.
@@krk6216 that is not true. The preferred fuel for the brain is ketone. A fuel made from fat.
@@centpushups Uhhh thats not what you learn in biochemistry, gen chem, and bio. I'll trust my professors and degree before anyone else, sorry.
Sugar, as in the white stuff from the plastic bag, is a highly addictive poison. Why are we still debating this?
Maybe because sugar is still prevalent in almost any industrial produced food. About 75% percent of all supermarkt 🏪 food contains added refined sugar. Why do we still buy these goods? Because some people are unaware of the effects and we should restrict sugar by governmental rules. That's why it is nescessary to expose the effects of sugar.
Guys the aim of the study was to find out how sugar consumption affects the risk of CVD. They are NOT advertising Aspartame. They just needed sth that tasted sweet but was not sugar.
I drink tea instead of coffee and don't like sugar in my tea. I find sugar takes away the subtle taste of tea.
If people drink their tea or coffee without sugar, they would have consumed much less sugar everyday.
Wow! I’m glad I watched this. A couple months ago, I stopped adding sugar to my coffee and I don’t really drink anything but water. On the weekends, I drink a beer or two. However, I’ve got now to also watch the food. I’m not a fan of processed food so much, but it’s in everything. Oh my…
People need to see more video on sugar like this I cut sugar out of my diet lost 140 ponds I feel so much better I will never go back to eat sugar every day again
Sugar is not an essential nutrient. The body can derive sugar, if it needs it from protein.
Converting from protein is less efficient, glucose whether from diet or from internal synthesis is a fundamental metabolic nutrient necessary for all life. Get over your irrational phobia of carbs.
@@felipetejeda7545 efficiency does not define what is an essential nutrient. There are essential amino acids because our bodies have no way to produce them. We can produce glucose through gluconeogenesis. If your only argument is efficiency we should eat solely fats because those are the most efficient to digest and gain energy from.
The fructose component of sugar and corn syrup is literally a poison at the huge quantities we consume. The liver has to metabolize it into fat much like alchohol. Hence fatty liver and the cascade of metabolic disease.
@@felipetejeda7545 It is lipolysis and the body can be trained to metabolize off of fats. It's just that people like you are too weak to bother. Carbohydrates hurt people because insulin shuts down lipolysis. That is a scientific fact and you are about on the level of a flat earther.
I thought the students were going to say that they’re going to eat healthy after learning everything from the study. Instead they want pizza.
I did as well. I was expecting to hear " a huge salad".
An interesting study but not a good idea to use aspartam. The effects of this sweetener on humans is unclear. Sucralose or stevia would have been a much better choice.
You're wrong, actually. Many, many studies have found that aspartame is safe in humans, and that it doesn't cause cancer or other health problems. www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp
I stick to my guns. This sweetener has a lot of controversy behind it and given the choice, sucralose and stevia are better alternatives.
Also not a blind study at all. Anyone can tell between sugar and aspertame.
Not that knowing would affect the liver though
Some of the slaves that broke their back in the cane fields must be laughing out loud. The plantation owners doubled production now the western world is suffering because of it. Greed greed greed.....
LYNmUsic Official
Yup, greed & racism will be the downfall for us all. They’re hand in hand.
Sugar beets are now GMO just spray them wit roundup kills all the weeds doesn't affect the sugar beets, a grower used to grow a hundred acres, now they can grow thousands of acres , no hand weeding, big business growers getting rich, sad.
Humanity is in for the largest legal health battle since the tobacco industry. #resist
i cut out sugar, sodium and carbs, and guess what? I’m healthy and I lost weight. I used to be 220 pounds now I’m about 170 pounds.
You can't say you're healthier just because you've lost weight. You are missing fiber and vitamins by cutting out whole grain, fruits and veggies. Hope you take vitamin C pills.
@Adriana A but sodium,, as well as magnesium, potassium etc2..
is essensial.. but if u eat too much junk, yes the sodium intake is way of the roof..
I had to shut off this documentary as soon as they said that you can consume sugars in small amounts. You shouldn’t eat that garbage at all. Same goes with anything that has seed oils.
I'm watching this to affirm my minimal-added-sugar diet, and I added it to my playlist for my bf, who already avoids most sugar.
Im happy i grew up in a low income family... I didnt get to have fast food and sweets I wanted. My glucose level until now is in the healthy range thanks and not obese.
Poverty is health.
Interesting. Usually low income level is associated with poorer diet and more junk food consumption, at least in the West.
Interesting study, this whole sugar industry is quite scary.
This is a great study. And we know from other research that sugar is likely addictive. Big tobacco comes to mind
VERY interesting video, Sugar is just BAD
#1 reason sugar is in everything is because its ADDICTIVE , therefore people buy MORE
BUY MORE = MONEY
>>MONEY
holy... 163 liters of soda? Thats more than the mineral water consumption (150 liters a year) in Germany.
It doesn't sound like a lot if you break it down to a daily basis, and therein lies part of the problem.
163 liters of soda a year would translate to 0.44 liters of soda a day, that's two cans or just one "small" 0.5l bottle.
Thank you from Majenang. I've learned a lot from this video about sugar and fat liver.
Eating pasta, bread and rice, they are still getting a whopping dose of sugar...
Good thing I hate sweets. It makes my tooth ache
same
You two are Gods.
Good show
It was always sugar and processed food. Saturated fat doesn't cause obesity.
Cholesterol isn't a biomarker. Chylomicrons, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL are. The fact that cholesterol is carried in one of them does not contradict harm's way: it is tryglycerides, not cholesterol, that is transported in most of them except HDL.
You can live a very healthy lifestyle consuming high amounts of fruit because the fiber slows down the absorption rate from your liver. Without enough sugar you will experience cognitive issues. PS- Dr Greger is THE guy you want to listen to on this subject.
@dava chavez Here are your words in English so everyone understands just how stupid your comment is... "No, you can not. It is not natural to overload the liver and our body is not a specialist in processing fructose. That's why the great obesity in the USA, because of the corn syrup that turns into fat." You just likened corn syrup to fruit. Read my comment again, slowly this time. LOL
There is growing evidence that diabetics must limit fruit. More than 15g fructose per day can trigger a cascade of bad reactions. I recently did a nutrition class (12 weeks) with a vegan nutritionist and she repeated frequently that fruit should be limited to two servings a day even for non-diabetics!
I fasted for a week and my mind was much clearer. Fruits are simply the best of the worst, a productive of human encouraged evolution for sweets. Greger misses a lot of things and veganism is a great path to merely different forms of self-destruction.
@@TehKaiser "veganism is a great path to merely different forms of self-destruction" ???
Moderation is the key.
I think it would have been interesting for people in the study to keep a food log for a week or two, or 10 days and then see what changes occur with their chosen diet.
Very interesting, no mention of maple syrup
Look at 9:54. The lab tech is placing liquid samples on a surface and when moving up to get another sample the jacket sleeve comes down close to the sample. Did the sleeve actually contaminate a sample during subsequent movements?
These students did not learn much ...
Ten weeks is one thing, but what about ten generations? It’s not just this body, it affects the next one also. Extra guilt served!
We inherit our microbiome profile from our mothers. The worst the diet of the mother the worst the diversity and balance in the gut ecosystem.
Wh6 didn't they use stevia instead of aspartame
I can't understand why people still consume soda.

Ever heard of glucose?
radiology isn't that like radioactive?
These students are learning a lot from this study.... they wanted go home to have a pizza, hamburger,etc. It is great.
You expect perfection and people simply aren't perfect. Yes, after a drastic change to their normal way of eating they've been struggling with months of cravings and it's normal to celebrate with yummy food. However, that doesn't mean they won't take much of what they've learned to heart. It's healthy to allow some flexibility. Rigid eating rules aren't wise. It's normal they would knock off with a pizza after three months without fun foods, but I bet they won't be having it as often as before.
I got a Hershey commercial half way through.... Lol
Not even one minute in and a load of horse manure. "Moderation!" You might as well say I'm down to one hit of heroin per day.
I used to like sweets so much but from 2.5 years i stopped eating sweets
my mom had made frozen chocolate nuts and berries bars. i tried a little nibble, i didnt eat more of it and ate grapes instead. i still had that thought of that delicous sugary chocolate taste. i went to the fridge and took only 2 pieces. i stopped and thought, is this really worth it? i never took anymore, i estimate it was around 500 calories just in those pieces together. i went to my pc and looked at the youtube tab. i saw your video and i knew right away, your video was there to warn me not to give in. sugar is a drug. next time i wanna eat something unhealthy or something with sugar i will always think about documentaries like this.
Great sleeping aid! 👍
Its so awkward to hear a scientist saying at 21:30 the measure of onces or whatever its called.
Coca-cola in Mexico is made with cane sugar instead of syrup, that's why it tastes like sugar on steroids lol
Beginning of this documentary is not correct :( Sugar is NOT an essential nutrient! Not even in moderation. It does bring smile to children...its an addictive, dose-dependent drug and a chronic hepatotoxin.
Buba Korowski ... but there's natural sugars in fruits, only when a person eats fruit, the fiber prevents the sugar from entering into the blood so fast, and it get digested properly.
We do need sugars - carbohydrates. Not everything is white added sugar...
Buba Korowski Sugar is an essential nutrient. It gets converted to ATP (which is energy) so the cells in the human body have the necessary energy to conduct basic bodily chemical processes.
If sugar was so bad, then why does your body convert all forms of carbohydrates to glucose (a form of sugar). When that isn’t available, your body will convert fats and proteins into glucose as well.
Sugar isn’t bad for you, the amount most Americans get is far too much.
Maybe instead of vilifying sugar, we should find a diet or set of diets that don’t lead to obesity. Cutting out sugar is impossible. I’ve tried.
Sugar is an essential nutrient? I'll give you the complete list of essential carbohydrates: .....
Yep, that many
Glucose is, but our bodies can make it
This video just focused on sugars and did not include other carbohydrates which are also converted to fat too!
Yeah of course. 🙄
How Do you Detox Sugar and That's The Ultimately THE QUESTION.
Great scientific research .. from 3 years ago . Now what has changed in this time in as far as food companies and regulators stopping the over excess supply of sugar in our processed foods sold .. the only choice an individual can take is to read the ingredients on every food that they buy but they don't for the majority . and it's not likely that this is going to happen . people are thinking that the food industry is doing rite by them . Food companies only want profit . if food has the bliss point of sweetness in it people will generally consume that. Bring on more obesity . Health problems ..? What a lovely world we live in. The next point of research is why aren't things changing if we know this scientific proof . Addicted people on sugar are easy money . Guilt is easy to swallow . Think I'll invest in sugar food companies its a easy way to turn a profit .
Love this video I keep warning everyone about high fructose corn syrup I wish they would regulate it more and limit the use of it
the lobbies are too big and corn syrup is dirt cheap
Fruits were not always as sweet as they are present day either, they've been bred to be overly sweet, so I avoid them, with the exception of feildberries when they are in season. Best stick with natural sweeteners that don't stimulate an insulin response, like stevia and/or erithritol.
If you think so you've never eaten an apple out of my garden. The tree is over 30 years old as I know, it was already there when I bought the ground. The apples are soooo sweet, sweeter than the ones from the supermarket, they're just watery

Zero

These people! I CANT WAIT TO EAT A PIZZA
If you really need sugar, Stevia/monk fruit in moderation. These are natural plant-based sweeteners. Better than the packets.
On the label, Sugar at 1G sounds riotously great! But you need to also check the Carbohydrates because carbs at 40G with the included Fiber at 6 and Sugar at 1G means whatever that's not accounted for is eventually converted to sugar!
Check the Ingredients label; there are many different AKAs for Sugar so learn some of the terminologies.
The average American consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar/day--one teaspoon equals 5G of sugar; that's 110G!
Introduction is confusing to people who already have bo clue. Sugars in fruit and veg are essential, yes. Added sugar in any form (be it cane sugar, honey or agave) - not so much.
Sugars in fruit are NOT essential. Do your research.
they need to re-run these studies using sugary coffee drinks
Unfortunately so many people are addicted.
The amount of people in this comment section that have a lack of understanding of biology blows my mind. Yes, sugar is a necessary nutrient. In one way or another, your body converts things into glucose and then into energy. Is processed sugar a necessary nutrient? No, but everything you eat has natural sugars in it. And in some way shape or form, there is glucose in your body.
Sugar stimulates the release of insulin and insulin inhibits fat metabolism. Thus, if you have a fat crisis, it is enemy #1 for both the metabolism effect and the increasing food consumption effect. This documentary is two-faced for not mentioning these points.
In Mexico people are obsessed with cocoa cola
Interesting how this study would make it appear that aspartame is safe.....
No sugar!
Alcohol: The simplest carb known to man.
Alcohol is made out of sugar
Everything in moderation. See how every single one of them craved junk food like pizza after the study concluded? In a balanced and healthy diet, you can still eat junk food from time to time but remember to eat it in moderation.
22:30 Dates are 63% sugar.

Why government does not block high fructose corn syrup like Europe did?
Why should the goverment block HFCS, and not sugar? What is the difference?
I not drink cola . But im overweight to. 😂 ,166/80kg
indra yani03 The best is to eat low carbs and not much sugar.
Carbs in my opinion make you fatter then sugar.
Also exercise regularly even if it are just 10 push ups and 10 sit ups twice or three times a day.
Drink enough water and nothing but water
Fat in oils and animal fats transform into sugars in the blood. I knew I diabetic person for 15 years. we have the amount of fat cells our body made in our teenager years to prevent lack of food, so your body in young age might have been deprived of some nutrients, making it want to store more for life.
@@memi9839 dont forget sugar is a carbohydrate 👍
You may be getting hidden sugars Indra. They really are not hidden but most people are not reading labels on everything they eat. Especially when eating something that would not be considered a junk food. You would be surprised what foods they add sugar too, smh its crazy.
