Sugar is such a controversial topic at the moment.
You have those who decide to ban all sugars and stick to a diet of mainly protein and fat. You have others who include plenty of natural sugars in their diets but don’t touch anything that has refined sugar. And finally, there are those who say that all sugars have the same effect on your body, regardless of the source, so you might as well eat what you prefer. If you’re confused, here’s the real truth on natural sugar vs refined sugar.
What is sugar?
Table sugar, the white sugar that is most commonly used, is called sucrose.
It is made up of a molecule of fructose (fruit sugar) and a molecule of glucose. It is naturally found in green plants but is also added to a lot of processed foods.
Natural sugar vs refined sugar:
Basically, all of these sugars occur naturally in different foods. However, you can also find them added to processed foods. In order to do this, sucrose is typically extracted from sugar canes or sugar beets, and added to the food. You can also find high-fructose corn syrup, which is extracted from corn starch. The composition of natural sugar vs added sugar is actually very similar: it’s just a mix of glucose and fructose. However, that doesn’t mean that the effect they have on your body is the same. This video talks about the effects of different sugars and why fruit sugar is better than refined sugar. It also discussed whether natural sweeteners are better than sugar.
