With all the facts and figures concerning obesity, there can be an obsession to cut out sugar altogether. However, sugars are what provide most of the energy that drives our brains and muscles, without them we wouldn’t function properly.
However, too much sugar can be pretty harmful. We all know about how sugars rot teeth, and the part they play in diabetes. What is less known is the addictive nature of sugar, with scientists stating they believe it to be more addictive than cocaine. It’s this that makes us want to eat more, which has caused the roar-away obesity in today’s society.
So, getting the amount of sugars we consume right is important. According to dietary guidelines for Australians, we should limit the amount of sugar we consume, with the recommended daily intake of 90 to 120 grams (dependent on the individual, gender, body shape and size, and exercise regime).
