It can not be unequivocally said that sweet is harmful. Moreover, fruits can also be sweet, but they do not bring harm to the body. When talking about sweets, it is usually meant sweets, cakes, cakes, muffins or chocolate. They can be both useful and harmful to our body.

In sweets the main ingredients are carbohydrates. They act as a source of energy. Carbohydrates very quickly satisfy hunger, as quickly absorbed. In addition, all sweets have a high calorie content, since they contain a lot of fat. Therefore, sweet is ideal for eating in conditions where there is no possibility to fully eat, and there are large energy costs. It is for this reason that condensed milk and chocolate are included in the grocery ration of climbers.

In addition to energy, sweets bring psychological benefits to humans. After eating a cake or a chocolate bar, many people improve their mood. This psychological moment is associated with the production of endorphins (hormones of joy).

As for the harm that brings sweets, then, unfortunately, it is much more than good. Sweets have a high glycemic index. This indicator indicates how quickly the level of insulin in the blood increases after the ingestion of glucose. Products with a high glycemic index very quickly satisfy hunger, but just as quickly cause a new.

When consuming sweet, in the digestive tract, sugar is split into glucose and absorbed into the blood.

High concentration of glucose in the blood is dangerous for the body, because in this case, the hormone insulin begins to be intensively produced. Part of it is spent on the distribution of glucose in the body, and part is used to block the disintegration of already existing fat and the formation of new fat cells. Therefore, excessive consumption of sweet foods invariably leads to the appearance of excess weight. In addition, there is a psychological dependence on sweets. Very often people start "jamming" with their problems.
