The sugar may be replaced by any sweetener


Myth. Our body does not need sugar. Because it is a matter of custom add too much sugar in prepared and processed foods contain various sugar in its composition, we need always causes more sugar. For fear of getting fat, people began exchanging sugar for constant use and even exaggerated sweeteners. Although they have been made for diabetics, this habit was broadcast to all who wished not add more calories to your daily life.
Recent research has shown that some sweeteners need to be consumed in moderation or even avoided. Sweeteners base Acesulfame-K, sodium saccharin, sodium cyclamate and aspartame are not stated because there is a potential carcinogenic effect of cyclamate monosodium. Additionally, you can find the mineral added to aspartame and stevia to enhance the sweet flavor and disguise the bitter residue of the product. Already aspartame also has potential carcinogen and can induce migraines.
The Acesulfame-k has the power of sweetness approximately 200 times more than sugar, has been associated with risk, but there is criticism that it has not been sufficiently studied. They are common in sachets table and soft, always mixed with cyclamate, saccharin or aspartame.
The sodium saccharin is the power of sweetness of 300 times more than sugar. It is a petroleum derivative. Animal studies and much higher doses for human consumption suggest a carcinogenic effect. The product is banned in Canada and is not recommended for hypertensive patients.
The Stevia has the power of sweetness approximately 350 times more than sugar. Because it is derived from a plant Stevia rebaudiana, originally from South America, is rich in glycosides high sweetening power and assists in glycemic control. However, it has aftertaste.

Thus, it is important to evaluate each patient individually and to seek the best way to use the sweetener in moderation and in a manner not detrimental to health.
