SUCROSE - SWEET POISON FOR MASSES

Abstract

Added sugar is the worst ingredient in the modern diet and can be dangerous to everyone's health. This is simply because it contains no nutrients and has detrimental effects on overall health. It is rightly said: "Sugar is like sweet poison." It is important to understand what are the reasons that make added sugar a sweet poison. Sugar is naturally found in all types of carbohydrate-containing foods, including all vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy products. Consuming natural sugar is good for your health. This is because these foods also contain other nutrients such as a large amount of fibre, essential minerals, and antioxidants, and dairy products contain calcium and protein.
