Originally Answered: Are sugar-free drinks an IQ tax?
In order to pursue health, people nowadays have given up drinking beverages with high sugar content, and are inclined to drink sugar-free beverages.
First of all, let us understand what is a sugar-free beverage and what kind of beverage can be considered sugar-free
The so-called sugar-free beverages are actually defined for sugar-sweetened beverages, which refer to beverages that do not add sugar, such as sugar, glucose, and sucrose, while maintaining their sweetness
The so-called sugar-free beverages are actually defined for sugar-sweetened beverages, which refer to beverages that do not add sugar, such as sugar, glucose, and sucrose, while maintaining their sweetness
So, are the sugar-free drinks claimed on the market really sugar-free? Of course not
Sugar-free may also contain sugar, so "0 energy" is always true, right? Not really
According to China's "General Rules for Nutritional Labeling of Prepackaged Foods", when the energy in 100 ml of beverages is less than 17 kJ, it can be marked as "0 energy"
First, sweeteners increase appetite and cravings for sweets
Second, sweeteners may interfere with the metabolism of energy in the body
Again, sweeteners can also be addictive
Finally, aspartame is not friendly to certain groups of people
Of course, with the popularity of the sugar-free beverage market, there are many unscrupulous businesses playing word games to confuse the public
Therefore, when choosing a sugar-free beverage, you must not only look at the brand, publicity and price, but also learn to look at the product label, that is, the ingredient list and the nutritional content list
The biggest difference between diet drinks and sugar-sweetened drinks is the source of sweetness
All in all, for people with beverage consumption habits, sugar-free beverages can indeed reduce the health damage of added sugar to a certain extent, but this is also based on the premise of not drinking too much
