I have read that there are differences in the way that some sugars are absorbed into the body during digestion. I am wondering if there is any basis in truth to this and if so does the way sugars are digested have any impact on the body? As a pre diabetic, and currently on a Ketogenic diet — i do not care for the source of the sugar. But for the sugar contents in general. Sugar is sugar and will spike an Insulin reaction. The amount of sugar natural or added is what matters, at least for me.
Great read and informational article. I think this is not correct. The amount of sugar consumed is not all that matters. The variance in blood sugar matters too. So if you have some average blood sugar in a given day but that blood sugar varies from really high to really low ex 40g of sugar from fruit juice , this is much less healthy than the same average blood sugar but more constant throughout the day ex 40g of sugar from fruit.
This article mentions that by referencing slow-controlled blood sugar release vs rapid blood sugar spike. I think the reason is related to insulin response. Too much sugar at once puts a huge strain on your insulin while slow-release is much more manageable, even if there is the same total amount of sugar.
I like how this is very readable and understandable for a regular person, thanks! For instance, when we talk about fruit juice, it is not the same to buy a juice from a store heavily processed if it comes from a factory — less so if it is produced with a slow press juicer than to make it yourself at home.
Additionally, when you make your own juice, not all the fibre is stripped away, as soluble fibre remains and it also affects the way in which the sugar in the juice is absorbed into the bloodstream having soluble fibre helps the body slow down the absorption of sugars. Furthermore, even though making a juice is processing the fruit in a way, the sugar in the fruit and in the juice is not the same as the added kind, and our bodies are better equipped to deal with it as they can recognise it as for what it is natural sugar.
So, as you can see, this issue is much more complicated than stated here. I, for one, think it is a good step in the right direction to start by informing the public about the levels of added sugars in any food. Plus the new labels inform of both total sugar content and added sugars. Finally, what I am about to share is not scientific data but it is observational data. I have done several juice only fasts in which I have spent several days or weeks consuming nothing but freshly extracted fruit and vegetable juices a day, ml each on average and two of those times I had blood tests conducted both before and after the juice fast.
In both cases, my fasting blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels were significantly reduced after the juice fast. If natural sugar, and specifically that in juices, is so bad for you or as bad as added sugars , how come my total blood sugar levels have been reduced twice after having spent a whole week each time on nothing but fruit and vegetable juice?
Different formulations of HFCS contain different amounts of fructose. The rest of the HFCS is glucose and water. HFCS 42 is mainly used in processed foods, cereals, baked goods, and some beverages. HFCS 55 is used primarily in soft drinks.
Sucrose sugar , the most well-known sweetener, is made by crystallizing sugar cane or beet juice. Sucrose is also made up of the same two simple sugars, glucose and fructose, joined together to form a single molecule containing one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule, an exact one-to-one ratio. The primary differences between sucrose and the common forms of HFCS are:. Excess sugar consumption can cause many conditions, including diabetes and obesity.
