Sugar substitute

Studying obesity mechanisms, scientists came to a conclusion that fatty tissue is generally supported by carbohydrates. So there was a myth about harm of sweet. It is difficult to understand the argumentation of scientists to the simple inhabitant as they use a set of special scientific terms. Actually, in the XX century the obesity mechanism which affected exchange of carbohydrates, but only indirectly was open. Any food which got into a human body as a result of difficult biochemical processes turns into glucose. Also there was a speech about it. Therefore there was a first substitute of sugar recommended to the people who are not suffering from a diabetes mellitus. By the end of the XX century the hypodynamia gained mass character, and obesity became the real problem. The strengthened opinion on the fact that glucose promotes fatty deposits induced people to look for an exit. The offered sugar substitute, apparently, solved many problems. But, judging by statistical data, the number of people with excess body weight did not begin to decline. Glucose substitution by substance, similar to taste, really, is necessary, but not for all.

For whom sugar substitute is necessary

Sugar contains glucose in pure form. Being soaked up in blood, it immediately joins in a metabolism. Besides, cells of a brain eat only glucose in pure form, but not products of processing of products. Glucose influences pleasure centers which immediately begin production of endorphines – "happiness hormones".

Important! In the absence of contraindications the child should give sweet products which contain natural sugar. If the person does not receive glucose in the childhood, its pleasure centers will react to other stimulators, for example, alcohol-containing drinks.

The states of health at which glucose is contraindicated:

• Diabetes mellitus of both the first, and second type;
• Metabolic syndrome;
• Exudative diathesis (scrofula);
• Acute pancreatitis.

For patients with a diabetes mellitus glucose in pure form represents cellular poison which accumulates in blood why it is condensed. Increase in viscosity of blood leads to vascular disorders.

At a metabolic syndrome natural substitute of sugar is powerful prophylactic in development of a diabetes mellitus of the second type when receptors of entrance gate of cells for glucose are disconnected.

Exudative diathesis at kids develops as allergic reaction. At the same time any product can appear the activator. The recommendation of a sugar exception of a diet is based on the mechanism of development of emergence of rash. Any allergic reaction represents the perverted answer of immune cells to substances which the organism perceives foreign. In these cases sugar substitute, having got to blood, does not strengthen allergic reaction as it is done by glucose.

At acute pancreatitis it is necessary to unload a pancreas not to allow death of the cells producing insulin. By sick pancreatitis in an acute stage the use of food, including the sweetened drinks is forbidden.

For other people substitute of sugar is not an essential product and is used that is called "to taste".

Properties of sweeteners

Drugs for sweetening of food or drinks do not contain glucose. Nevertheless products seem sweet. Irritation of nipples of language which reaction to sugar substitute, responses of a nervous system causes just the same, as on carbohydrates. At the same time drugs do not contain any calories or their nutrition value approaches zero.

So the person "deceives" flavoring receptors. Many drugs of this group are perceived several times more sweet, than usual sugar.

Sugar substitute – harm and advantage

The termination of the use of sugar does not result in desirable effect – weight loss. It occurs for the following reason: the irritation of nerve terminations of language starts a difficult reflex arc of a digestive tract. The produced insulin immediately begins to work, but its work is inefficient. Hormone passes glucose in cells, opening entrance gate. The substances similar in a chemical formula to glucose do not join in energy balance. Biochemical reaction is not considered finished without development of an end product. The signal comes to the central nervous system that the synthesized insulin was unclaimed. As a result production of the major hormone decreases. As a result obesity progresses. Besides, the brain does not receive the main food which only pure glucose, but not its substitutes is. For people of brainwork substitute of sugar which harm and advantage are not equal each other is not recommended for reception. Even if the person, owing to some other reasons will lose weight, his brain will remain without feed. Carbohydrates which are synthesized in a liver and are laid in the form of a glycogen, are not of value for neurons of big hemispheres. The brain consumes neoglucogenesis products only for survival, but not for cerebration improvement.

The set of articles about harm of sweeteners have no actual confirmation. Cancerogenic effect of synthetic drugs is not confirmed by evidential medicine in one country of the world. At the same time natural substitute of sugar which is widely advertized does not differ in essential advantages.

Sweeteners bring undoubted benefit to sick people to whom glucose is absolutely contraindicated, it aggravates the course of diabetes. The drugs replacing sugar considerably reduce load of a pancreas, preventing development of a metabolic syndrome.

Sugar substitute – responses

The people using substitute sugar set before themselves the purpose – to lose weight. Certain types of diets provide an exception of carbohydrates, recommending to replace them with synthetic drugs. Thus, the person does not limit himself in reception of sweets which almost do not contain calories. At the level of an organism double deception is noted: flavoring receptors and pancreas. And body weight, most often, remains invariable. Whichever there was a sugar substitute, comments on him do not contain positive emotional coloring. Generally buyers speak of the price and quality of service of the selling organization. Similar responses can be and positive, but they do not reflect properties of these or those sweeteners at all.

Sugar substitute in cookery

For pastries use sweeteners like fructose and its modifications which are called as sweeteners. It allows to change a pastries compounding for the purpose of saving of time.

Cakes on the basis of sweeteners are much more sweet usual therefore it is impossible to use them in a large number. Besides, natural substitute of sugar has no contraindications for patients with a diabetes mellitus. Pastries with use of such sugar have a number of advantages. However sweeteners do not change color to ruddy, their structure does not crystallize therefore it is difficult to make meringue cakes.
