Just like many other things, sugar is simply a component of our food. But because we all consume far too much of it on average, sugar is becoming a health risk. It promotes obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and leads to us consuming too many calories on average. So, the bottom line is that it is only logical that researchers have started looking for alternatives. There are now a whole lot of them. Many people know these substitutes from the long ingredient lists on food, others have already resorted to them specifically. Regardless of how much you have already dealt with the topic, I will now show you a few alternatives. I have chosen the 7 most common sugar alternatives. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute No. 1: Honey Honey is, in the best case, a completely natural alternative to often heavily processed sugar. In addition, honey is full of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute No. 2: Maple syrup Maple syrup is almost as effective as sugar in sweetening, but has a good 25% fewer calories. Similar to honey, maple syrup contains important minerals such as magnesium, iron and potassium and the fructose content is relatively low. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute no. 3: Agave syrup Agave syrup is a serious sugar alternative. Just 300 kcal per 100g and absolutely tasteless. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute no. 4: Birch sugar Birch sugar is also known as xylitol. Xylitol also prevents tooth decay and is therefore often found in chewing gum or toothpaste. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute no. 5: Coconut blossom sugar It tastes like caramel and is almost as sweet as brown sugar. It contains iron, magnesium, zinc and comparatively little fructose. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute no. 6: Stevia Stevia is also natural, comes from the plant of the same name and is mostly available as a fine white powder. The dosage is a little more difficult than with sugar because stevia is a whopping 300x sweeter than sugar. Sugar alternative/sugar substitute no. 7: Erythritol While we're on the subject of alternatives with 0 calories: erythritol has been around as a sugar substitute for a long time. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and does not affect blood sugar levels. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics relating to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Is there an optimal body weight?: https://bit.ly/Körpergewicht_Video BCAA - Do BCAA help build muscle? https://bit.ly/BCAA_Video Too much protein - watch out!: https://bit.ly/zuvielEiweiß_Video The best protein sources - plant-based vs animal-based protein sources: https://bit.ly/BestenEiweißquellen_Video Fat burners from the fridge: https://bit.ly/Fatburner_Video ▬ Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►Facebook: https://bit.ly/facebook_DrWeigl ►Website: https://doktorweigl.de ►Twitter: https://bit.ly/Twitter_DrWeigl ►Instagram: / doktorweigl ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Legal notice / disclaimer: The videos are for your information only and never replace personal advice, examination or diagnosis by a licensed, qualified specialist.
