Consuming sugary drinks | Fructose | Namita Piparaiya Skits

I consume sugary drinks ⬇️
.
But very occasionally. The point of this skit is not to demonise sweet beverages, but to counter the narrative that ‘fruits are bad’.
.
So what is the deal with sugary beverages?

Sugary beverages often contain high levels of fructose (HFCS). Since they are usually without any fiber, they are rapidly absorbed and are also VERY EASY to overconsume as they’re not satiating. This lack of fiber and wholeness as well as the susceptibility to exceeding calorie intake is what makes them harmful.
.
Fruits on the other hand come with fiber, nutrients and antioxidants which makes them a valuable addition to our diet. They’re also very FILLING that’s why you will typically not overeat them (exception being super sweet fruits like mangoes etc)
.
End of the day, the best diets are the ones personalized to your unique needs, preferences, and goals.
