A report that came out in 2013 has now hit the ever-on time, generous, popular newspapers of our time. Just like being a century behind climate change, the news media has now decided that sugar is bad. (They say the catholic church was late in accepting Gallileo’s theory)
Victoria Lambert, a telegraph ‘writer’, claimed that we – Britons – are a nation of “Pavlovians made up of sugar, treacle and toffee addicts, drawn to the taste of sweetness like bees to honey,” thus emphasising the importance of sugar in our daily diet.
According to the study released in April 12th, 2013, which was ‘republished’ according to the early train, The Telegraph, the average Briton consumes 238 teaspoons of sugar each week, just a few less than the amount of N.Farage blames immigrants everyday for life’s daily occurrences.
A body of ‘expert’ opinion – a word for people who actually studied the stuff – is rearing towards removing sugar out of our diets as much as possible.
Nevertheless, there is no real ‘movement’ behind the fact that sugar is terrible for the body; in fact, it comes after smoking and alcohol has one of the worst substances in the world that takes many lives.
”An analysis of 175 countries over the past decade showed that when you look for the cause of type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes, the total number of calories you consume is irrelevant. It’s the specific calories that count. When people ate 150 calories more every day, the rate of diabetes went up 0.1 per cent. But if those 150 calories came from a can of fizzy drink, the rate went up 1.1 per cent. Added sugar is 11 times more potent at causing diabetes than general calories, ” said Robert Lustig, professor of endocrinology at the university of California.
