Is All Sugar Bad

All types of sugar will give us the same amount of calories, whether they are from fruit or soft drink. But the health risks of eating sugar are related to consuming too many “free sugars” in the diet, not from eating sugars that are naturally present in fruits or milk.

Which kind of sugar is healthiest?

White sugar, composed of 50% glucose and 50% fructose, has slightly lower GI. Based on available values in the GI database, agave syrup has the lowest GI value. Therefore, it’s a better option than other sugars in terms of blood sugar management.

What sugars should you avoid?

• high fructose corn syrup.
• cane sugar or cane juice.
• maltose.
• dextrose.
• invert sugar.
• rice syrup.
• molasses.
• caramel.
