Suiker Sucre Zucker Sugar сахар 糖

The whole world is surrounded with sugar, "the sneaking poison".
It taste sweet and without sugar, you can't imagine how we could feed ourselves tastefully.
Over years, we should think that more sugar is added in our food. Our children nowadays don't know drinks without sugar anymore. It's so obvious.
Is sugar good for us? Yes, of course, but as always, too much is never good.
Does sugar give us more energy? It depends which sugar you're talking about. Normal white refined sugar doesn't give us the energy when we're tired. Even cane sugar is not an energetic sweetener. But fruit-sugar (fructose) is the right energy-booster, because of the presence of vitamins. Yes! Normal sugar is 100 % sacharose, there are no vitamins in it! Cola is an awakener because of its caffeine.
"Sugar is a thick-maker". Nonsense!... Fat is. If you know that one sweet soda doesn't fill your stomach, you're in the temptation to drink more of it. That gives us in spite of energy also a certain gloomy expression. The surplus of energy goes to our physical sight. With other words, we will swell... Only more gymnastics can make a difference. If we aren't lazy to do this...
Sugar is an enemy of our beautifully teeth's... If you eat more equally and brush twice a day your dentures, it should be no problem to allow sugar in your nutrition.
Diabetes is not caused by consuming sugar, but is the result of a high level of glucose in our blood, where our body isn't able to produce more insulin to compensate this level.
And everyone has a light condition of diabetes, but someway our body can get used to it (by swelling it, for example...)

We would rather watch out to consume less or even avoid Natrene/Xylitol/Canderel and other artificial sweeteners, not because of preventing eventual diseases, but because our body is an natural element that needs mainly natural nutrition...
