When in the 70s it was declared an enemy №1 fatfood companies have reduced its share in the products. Food has become tasteless, but the fear of hypertension and cardiovascular disease was stronger. To enhance the flavor defatted meal manufacturers started to add sugar to it, primarily fructose which is 1.5 times sweeter than sucrose and 3 times - glucose. The latent form, they are in breakfast cereals, yogurt, sauces, juices, the usual bread and even dietary loaves. We do not realize how much it is used, says Elena Degtyarev, candidate of biological sciences and director of the scientific department of the ideal body #SEKTA School. »The main danger is all sugary drinks. Even if they diet, they contain sweeteners which do not benefit the organism. The black list also come packaged juices. In fat products harmful substance is added to maintain consistency. Even the way we think, »healthy» cereals contain large amounts of sweetener », - Elena explains.

That's why Anna Lysenko, nutritionist and author of the weight loss program at Beauty Matrix, advises seriously everything that we send in your mouth. »Absolutely every meal affects how we look. But do not think that will solve the problem of fructose. Yes, her cleavage insulin is not needed, but the stucco, which is responsible for the feeling of satiety, is produced in much smaller quantities. To satisfy energy hunger, a substitute would have to eat a lot. And he, by the way, no less calories than glucose, and quickly deposited in the fat on the belly. »
