Can sugar free drinks with added sweeteners be enjoyed freely? Expert: Do not drink excessively

2024-02-08   

On the festive dining table, drinks are indispensable. There are many types of sugar free drinks with sweeteners added in supermarkets. So, for some people who are not suitable for sweet drinks but still want to eat sweet ones, can sugar free drinks be enjoyed? Experts suggest that sugar free drinks with added sweeteners should not be consumed too much. Wu Jia, Deputy Secretary General of the Nutrition Literacy Branch of the China Association for Health Promotion and Education: Some studies suggest that sweeteners can affect our gut microbiota, but in fact, sweeteners are a form of deception on the human brain. Because when we eat sweet food, our blood sugar will rise, and insulin will start working to suppress blood sugar. But now that blood sugar is not rising and the brain is receiving signals, I have tasted sweet food. My insulin needs to work, so it may not raise blood sugar in the short term. However, in the long run, some experts believe it may pose health risks, so it is okay to eat a little, but don't think it is sugar free and just open it up completely. Based on the dietary characteristics of the Spring Festival, nutritionists suggest that if you want to choose beverages, they recommend tea drinks without sweeteners and plain soda water. Wu Jia, Deputy Secretary General of the Nutrition Literacy Branch of the China Association for Health Promotion and Education: Especially during the Spring Festival banquet, when you eat a lot of greasy and heavy mouthed food, drinking some refreshing tea drinks is a better choice. In addition, some sugar free soda water is also suitable, such as cutting lemon slices into the soda water and pairing it with some fresh fruit juice to give it a bit of flavor. If there are patients with gout or high uric acid in the family, it is more recommended to drink this sugar free soda water. (Lai Xin She)
