Into the sugar substitute: erythritol

Natural substitutes are usually derived from plants, and their names often bear the name of the plant or fruit from which they are derived. For example, stevia is derived from monkfruit and stevia is derived from stevia. Among them, stevia, a natural substitute sugar for Internet celebrities, is 200-300 times sweeter than white sugar. It's calorie-free and doesn't raise blood sugar. So it is often used in some diabetic special food. Not only that, now a lot of milk tea shops also introduced money can be changed for "0 card sugar" choice.

There are also sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, xylitol and erythritol. They are not as sweet as table sugar, but they are good for oral health and are commonly used in chewing gum, toothpaste and mouthwash to prevent tooth decay and to benefit gut microbes. When sugar alcohols are consumed, they will be absorbed by the intestine. If they cannot be absorbed by the intestine, the intestinal microbes will ferment them and use them, which may affect the balance of intestinal flora and cause long-term health problems.

Speaking of health issues, erythritol has not been found to be harmful to human health until now, except in excess it can cause osmotic diarrhea, with no serious side effects. It is important to note that even if edible food is safe, too much will cause certain side effects, as long as the appropriate eating will not be a problem. Erythritol is not metabolized and fermented by intestinal flora in the short term, so it is a relatively safe sugar substitute for people who need sugar substitute. Is it safe in the long term? Of course, whether erythritol is healthy in the long term and whether it will affect human body and other related issues need to be discovered in future clinical studies or prospective studies.

Does taking a natural sugar substitute like erythritol make you feel good? In fact, splenda also stimulates dopamine production, which, of course, makes our brains less satisfied than natural sucrose.

So when it comes to eating splenda as a way to lose weight, the answer isn't a sure thing because it compensates you for eating more of something else, causing you to eat more of something else, which leads to excess calories, and triggers the brain's sweet cravings. Even because of the high sweetness of artificial sugar, the threshold of perception of sweet will become higher and higher, and it will become more and more sweet, and it will become more and more difficult to meet, so that they will eat more baked desserts or "0 sugar 0 calorie cookies", but these are still carbohydrates and fat in essence, and the addition of artificial sugar just replaces the extra sugar.

If such a situation occurs, then our weight will only get worse and worse, not because of the 0 calories of sugar on the intemperate consumption. If you want to lose weight, artificial sugar is only a temporary substitute. Developing good eating habits and matching exercise with their own conditions are the basis to ensure our health. And try to choose natural sugar substitute, and must reduce the intake of sugar, while controlling the total energy. And don't assume that people with high blood sugar or diabetes are free to take splenda. For diabetic people, no matter what kind of sugar is not recommended to ingest, sugar substitute can be used as a transitional temporary choice, but not long-term intake.

Generally speaking, substitute sugar is used in the food industry or baked desserts, such as drinks, snacks and cakes, which not only enhances the sweetness, but also does not generate heat. So many people will want to incorporate it into their diet, but because splenda itself is not sugar, it is not very effective for cooking methods that require the Maillard reaction, such as sugar coloring, baking, especially coloring, and it is difficult to beat in baking. And they don't taste as good as real sugar, and some people won't even accept the taste of substitute sugar.

How to choose when choosing splenda? It is recommended that people try to choose natural sugar substitute. For example: erythritol, stevia, momorrhodoside, xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, etc. But when it comes to eating healthy, choosing foods that are low in fat, low in sugar, low in sodium and high in protein is always the right way.
