Effect of sugar intake towards human health
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Sugars belong to glycan/carbohydrate group of chemicals. Realisation of their sweetness was earlier as compared to its use as an energy source and an important dietary component. Although sugar is vital for defraying many physiological functions of our body properly, “Sweet tooth” or “Craving for sugar” is of common occurrence in children. Of late, we have realised that an excess consumption of sugar is harmful leading to various elements affecting our health, more so in children and women. So one should not only be careful while consuming excess amount of sugar (more than the recommended) in one’s diet, but rather advertently avoid it. Keywords: essential, excess consumption, harmful, health, nutrition, sugar.
