Xinhua News Agency researchers at the University of California in the United States published an article in the "Nature" magazine, said that sugar is toxic and addictive, a small amount of food is not a problem, more like a chronic suicide, it is recommended to control sugar as control of tobacco. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, San Francisco, and public health experts Laura Schmidt and Claire Brandy, in the article titled "The Toxic Truth About Sugar," said sugar is good for health. The threat is more than obesity, because sugar is not only fat, but also changes the body's metabolism, causing high blood pressure, imbalance of hormones, and liver damage. The article cites statistics showing that 40% of normal weight people have metabolic problems and may cause diabetes and heart disease. The article said that sugar changes the body's biochemical mechanisms, making it more susceptible to chronic diseases. Therefore, even if people do not gain weight by ingesting polysaccharides, chronic diseases may still occur in the future. The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) reported on the 2nd that Americans average about 22 teaspoons of sugar a day, which is three times that of 30 years ago. The biggest problem is that sugar is “hidden†in the daily diet, sometimes unobservable. Foods such as bread, cereals and processed foods often contain various forms of sugar, such as sucrose and hydrolyzed starch. The article said that sugary foods and beverages are one of the causes of diseases such as obesity, heart disease, cancer and liver diseases, and are related to 35 million deaths worldwide each year. The authors appeal that sugar is so dangerous that it should be regulated by taxation and legislation. “We are not talking about prohibition... Sugar is cheap and easy to get. We just want to make foods that don’t contain that much polysaccharide, and we have a lot of choices.†The article concludes that the responsibility lies with the food companies. They may resist changes, but if the pressure is high enough, changes may occur, just like smoking in public places and airbags in cars. Some experts expressed disagreement that the article is somewhat alarmist and that sugar is only toxic when ingested in “unrealistic quantities.†The key to health is a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
