In recent years, more and more often you can hear a frenzied statement: "Sugar is a poison". In many Western countries, this slogan was especially close to the heart of the mother. For example, in Sweden, France, Germany, children under 7 do not know the taste of sugar at all. Because of this, they are thin, healthy, strong, immune to disease and have fine, healthy teeth.

MedicoForum found out whether sugar is dangerous for health or useful.

Parents do not spare candy and other sweets for children, but any dentist will confirm: even baby teeth are affected by caries in children. And they suffer from almost all childhood diseases, and almost all are fat, fattened, and this, unfortunately, remains usually for life. Pensioners with healthy teeth at us - the rare exception. So, maybe you really need to accept the slogan: "Sugar is a poison"? But still.

And yet, when you can not sleep, a spoonful of sugar or sweet tinctures on herbs sometimes act better than pharmaceutical sleeping pills. And yet, we repeat, when we fall from fatigue, for example, during a hike in the mountains, a piece of sugar, taken out of his pocket and slowly melting in his mouth, almost immediately returns the strength.

We already know that sugar, bypassing the metabolism, directly turns into energy, that it most quickly nourishes not only the muscles but also the brain, so that it is not always poisonous, but its excess can indeed be fatal. In many fruits, in fruit and vegetable juices (not sweetened), quite a lot of sugar. It is believed that this number should be enough not only for children, but for an adult. Children can not be accustomed to sugar, but what about adults who "love" sweets?.
