Sugar free foods with sweeteners are not good for everyone

Traditional sweeteners, such as sucrose, fructose and glucose, are energy substances If they are ingested too much, they will cause obesity and some diseases, such as caries, cardiovascular disease and diabetes Therefore, the food processing industry continues to develop low calorie or calorie free sweeteners to meet people's sweet nature At present, there are about 20 kinds of sweeteners commonly used at home and abroad, and 13 kinds are allowed to be used in China, which are mainly used in more than ten kinds of food, such as cold food, beverage, prepared wine, pastry, bread, biscuit, preserves, etc Sweeteners can be divided into three types: artificial non nutritive sweeteners, sugar alcohol sweeteners and calorie free sweeteners At present, there are four kinds of sweeteners in the domestic and foreign markets: saccharin sodium, cyclamate, aspartame and stevioside The saccharin sold on the market of saccharin sodium is actually saccharin sodium, with the scientific name of o-sulfonylbenzoimide It has been used for a hundred years and is the most traditional and cheap sweetener Saccharin sodium sweetener is 200-700 times of sucrose, but it has bad taste and obvious aftertaste After entering the human body, it will not decompose or absorb, and will be discharged with urine, so it has no nutritional value Saccharin was once regarded as carcinogen and banned in many countries Our government has also taken measures to strengthen the management of saccharin, and stipulated that it is not allowed to be used in baby food Sodium cyclamate, the scientific name of cyclamate, is the most widely used sweetener in China's food industry The sweet taste of sodium cyclamate is pure, which can maintain the flavor of food, prolong the shelf life of food, and is a low heat energy sweetener not absorbed by human body, which will not cause heart disease, obesity and caries, especially suitable for diabetics as sugar substitutes In foreign countries, it was reported that this product had carcinogenic and teratogenic effects in 1969, so it was banned one after another in various countries Since then, many countries have carried out toxicity studies on it, without any abnormality, and more than 40 countries have begun to recognize its use Aspartame, the scientific name of aspartame, has been approved for use in more than 100 countries It is a sweetener with the fastest consumption growth in the world market last year It has high safety, pure sweet taste, no caries effect, and is suitable for obesity and cardiovascular patients Stevioside is a diacylene glycoside extracted from Stevia rebaudiana It has high sweetness, good taste and stable properties Stevioside is a natural sweetener suitable for diabetes and obesity patients It also has the functions of preventing caries, reducing blood pressure, promoting metabolism and treating excessive gastric acid Although people have been questioning whether sweeteners affect human health, they have been widely used as a kind of food additives In order to cater to consumer psychology, many businesses have made a big fuss about this, claiming that "sugar free food" and "sugar reducing food" are healthy food But when choosing these foods, you should open your eyes and see which sweetener it uses Now there are many so-called sugar free foods on the market In the food label, only the extremely irregular names such as "sweetener", "compound sweetener" and "proteoglycan" are used, but the real chemical names of sweeteners are not indicated None of the 11 so-called proteoglycan samples sampled by the relevant departments were qualified All of them were made of saccharin and sugar
