Eating sugar causes diabetes, or so most people believe. This is the reason why people prefer eating salty things rather than sweet things. But the salty carbohydrates and processed food can also make you a diabetic.
Now people do not like to eat sweet things. Nowadays, most of the people think that eating sugar or sweet things causes diabetes. But this is not correct; Several salty things have more sugar than sugar. Salty carbohydrates and processed food enter the human body and get converted to sugar. So, even if it is not direct sugar, it can make a person diabetic. Let’s know from a dietitian, whether eating sugar and sweet things causes diabetes.
Does Sweetness Create Sugar?
Says nutritionist, weight-loss coach, keto-dietitian Swati Singh, diabetes does not occur by eating sugar. Yes, if you have Diabetes, it increases by eating Sugar, but those, who are not Diabetic, and suppose somebody likes ice cream very much. He follows a good lifestyle daily. Works out daily. It is quite slim. It has become such a situation now, that he wants to eat ice cream daily. So he can eat it easily. That man would not be diabetic not because of that.
Not only the sugar, these salty things also contain sugar. A person can be diabetic, if that person is eating cereal as soon as the wake-up time, and even if it is not a sweet cereal, but salty. If he eats white rice in the afternoon, which is not sweet. Then eating more rotis, eating processed food. Every day is eating salty chips in the evening, eating salty biscuits – that person is bound to have diabetes. Because each salty carbohydrate gets converted to sugar in the body. If you take 4 grams of carbohydrate, then 1 spoon of sugar is going into the body. If you take 1 Bread in breakfast, which contains 15 grams of Carbohydrate. So this means that you are consuming 4 spoons of sugar. Do you think that when you eat bread then you are taking 4 teaspoons of sugar? So, this means, if you take 3 breads in the morning, then 10–12 spoons of sugar go inside your body. How much sugar can someone take in a day?
The American Heart Association believes that one should consume less than 9–10 spoons of sugar in a day. However, you have already absorbed all the sugar in the morning by eating bread. Sugar is produced from every carbohydrate. It is not like that you will stop consuming carbohydrates. You need to eat with planning. You need to eat in an order. So that you do not catch sugar later on.
