Letters to the Editor: Why you should stay away from sugar and artificial sweeteners (via latimesopinion )
” Opinion, March 5)
From documentation of cardiovascular disease in 3,500-year-old Egyptian mummies to the present epidemic of obesity, sugar is a prime suspect. The hormonally triggered “sugar high” and consequent sugar low lead to hunger, weight gain and obesity. Production of cholesterol and triglycerides are increased with an enhanced sugar load.
Artificial sweeteners fail to produce the satisfaction of the sugar high, promoting eating . The shaming of erythritol as associated with cardiovascular disease is actually the result of overeating.In addition, another strategy has appeared that is most relevant: Adequate protein and fat with each meal enhance satiety and diminish the insulin effect.
A reality check demands that we limit sweeteners in food. So, Anthony Bourdain’s words that our bodies are an amusement park may ring true, but the fact is that they are indeed temples. We have endless food choices and one life to live.Bertrand Russell, the English philosopher, once said that since smoking gives him great pleasure, it’s worth dying a few years earlier from the habit.
In Robin Abcarian’s column, she wondered if her father, who died at 91, might have lived to be 92 if he hadn’t eaten so much sugar. Actually, 91 ain’t that bad.
