Honey; there is a sweetener that has been around since the
Stone Age, but recently has almost never out of the news.
First it was announced that after six decades of so-called
Sugar Puffs, now called murmurs cereals Honey Monster - apparently to avoid the
negative connotations of the word "sugar".
When news came that sell honey jam in the first Waitrose
supermarket, a trend attributed to the perception that healthy honey has been
exceeded. Market research firm Mintel estimates that honey sales reached staggering
£ 112 million last year.
After writing a book on leave, I'm not a fan of sugar. Diets
rich in sugar wreck our children's teeth, increase waist and ruins our skin, it
also changed our mood and even our sleep patterns.
It was widely believed that honey is better for us, but is
it really? The short answer is, as because of it is made of 55 percent fructose
(fruit sugar), honey beneficial food for our bodies like eating sugar. And this
is why.
Honey is still sugar
Refined sugar (sucrose) has been treated in the body of the
table with insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. Honey is about 55
percent fructose; fruit sugar is converted by the liver. Although the chemical
differences, our bodies still react honey react as much refined sugar - with
peak blood sugar levels and it is stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin,
which stores body fat and body weight leads. When consumed in excess, fructose
products that contribute to obesity, heart disease and liver disease, such as
products with sugar. Other studies have shown mineral fructose drains your
body.
It is high in calories
Honey is also rich in calories - more than table sugar. A
teaspoon of honey contains about 22 calories per teaspoon of commercial sugar
about 16 calories. Many people are sugar, honey traded found in yogurt costly,
herbal tea and honey imagination is superior to other sugars. "Whenever people
think that something is low-fat, eat more," said Ian Marber.
MINERALS small IT
"Companies use the word" honey "instead of
saying something that is" soft "because it has an implied health
benefit, says Ian Marber.
While raw uncooked varieties of honey - agriculture and
health food stores - contains vitamins and trace elements; niacin, riboflavin,
thiamine and vitamin B6, which represent about two percent of the total amount
of honey.
Many big brand honey and other "natural"
sweeteners treated in supermarkets - is heated and filtered - to get rid of
pollen and natural bacteria in raw varieties. But also eliminating vitamins and
minerals.
Bad for the teeth ...
Dr. Joe Bansal London Clinic smile said: "Last month, a
study by the British Medical to find one in eight children suffer from tooth
decay aged three years and warned that the so-called" arrogant sugar '-
nuts, smoothies, honey and others - even cause tooth decay and cavities.
And your skin ...
Dr. Mica angel, young Waterhouse aesthetic medicine clinics
in London said glucose, fructose and honey collagen breakdown carbohydrates -
such as sugars. "The benefits of honey contain some extra vitamins will
not help to repair the damage to your collagen.
You do not
Sugar (white refined sugar or honey) has no nutritional
value. NHS says sugar can be safely added to 10 percent of daily calories (or
12 ½ c 50 g per day for women and 70 g TSP or 17½ per day for men).
But earlier this year I spoke cardiologist Dr Aseem
Malhotra, who is also director of the science of action on sugar, the campaign
body to reduce the sugar in our diets, which says that the World Health
Organization Health recommends limiting added sugars (including honey) to six
teaspoons per day ,
