一、阅读理解
Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, diet soda ... Do these seem like healthier choices? Since sugar became a no-no in the nutrition(营养)and fitness world,sugar-free food and drinks have acted as replacements(替代品)for once-beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming(声称)to be ZERO sugar means they are healthier,better for diabetics(糖尿病患者), and help you slim down, right?
★ In fact, they are worse.
When a product(产品)is labeled "sugar-free", it means that artificial(人工的)sweeteners are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that they do not come from natural sources(来源)and can cause you more harm than good. Actually, most artificial sweeteners are much sweeter than sugar, even 200—600 times sweeter, so only a tiny(小的)amount is needed. That's why many businesses market sugar-free replacements as "low-calorie" or "no-calorie".
But some of these sugar-free replacements still include sugar and the chemicals your body often does not know how to process(处理). It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them. What's worse, when you eat this kind of sweet food, your body continues to want it and even though your body cannot metabolise(新陈代谢)these sugar-free replacements, your brain does not know the difference, either. In turn, sugar-free replacements can lead to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes.
Similarly, artificial sweeteners also hurt your gut's(肠道的)ability to break down sugar, which affects everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn't know how to deal with artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here's a golden rule: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruit and avoid products claiming to be sugar-free!
