The Toxic LIFE of SUGAR (⚰️) #foodie
When it comes to sugar, there's a lot going on behind the scenes. Most people don't realize that there are many different types of sugars, but today we're going to focus on three main categories: sucrose, fructose, and glucose. Understanding these types of sugars will help explain why some sugars, like the ones found in fruits, are healthier than processed table sugar.
🙂↔️Understanding the Different Types of Sugar
Fruits contain all three of these sugars: fructose, glucose, and sucrose. Sucrose is essentially a combination of fructose and glucose. Let’s break it down: fruit can contain pure fructose or glucose on their own, or when combined, they form sucrose. So, when you eat table sugar, which is primarily sucrose, your body breaks it down into fructose and glucose. Glucose goes directly into the bloodstream, while fructose has to be processed by the liver to be converted into glucose.
🙂↕️The Problem with Processed Table Sugar
While this breakdown is a natural process, the main issue with processed table sugar is that it lacks the essential components that natural sources, like fruits, provide—such as fiber, healthy fats, and proteins. These components are crucial because they slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream, which keeps your blood sugar levels stable. This slower release is measured by something called the glycemic index.
Processed table sugar has a high glycemic index, meaning it causes a rapid spike in blood sugar because it’s absorbed quickly. In contrast, when you consume sugar from natural sources like fruit, the fiber, proteins, and healthy fats present slow down this absorption, resulting in a more gradual and steady rise in blood sugar levels.
😴The Dangers of Sugar Overload (that sleepy feeling is when you have too much .. the itis)
When sugar, particularly fructose, overwhelms the liver, it can lead to fat accumulation, which in turn can store toxins. Over time, too much sugar in your diet can contribute to serious health issues like aging, Alzheimer’s (which is often referred to as Type 3 diabetes), and fat buildup. These conditions occur because the liver becomes overworked and unable to properly process excess fructose.
🥤Smoothie Recipe
To help you get the benefits of natural sugars without the harmful effects of processed sugar, try this delicious smoothie recipe that’s loaded with fiber, protein, and healthy fats:
- 2 bananas
- 1/2 mango
- 1-2 tablespoons PB2 powder
- 1 scoop of protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 cup steel-cut oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- A handful of spinach or kale
- Monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional, if using fresh fruit)
Monk fruit sweetener is a great option here because it has a low glycemic index and won’t cause a blood sugar spike. Plus, it's made from fruit, so it’s a natural alternative to sugar. Add a few ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie, but if you’re using frozen fruit, you can skip the ice.
