The Truth About Sugar
In today's health-conscious world, sugar is often avoided like the plague. But what some fail to realize is that sugar exists in many foods—from fruits and vegetables to milk—as a naturally occurring substance. While fruits and veggies do contain natural sugars, they are also rich in nutrients and soluble fiber, the latter of which slows digestion so you feel satisfied longer. On the other hand, unhealthy, processed foods that are high in added sugar, such as soda, cookies, cake and candy, tend to be low in fiber and other valuable nutrients. These foods are rapidly digested, which causes blood sugar levels to spike and then plummet. So how can someone following the South Beach Diet lifestyle tell how much sugar (natural or added) is in a particular product? Click here to find out.
