the sugar diabetes myth
Sugar Diabetes is a word used frequently to describe diabetes it is based on a popular diabetes theme however which might cause some confusion.
Eating too much sugar is not going to give you diabetes or so the myth goes,this is the regular sugar found in grocery stores.
I can see where the sugar diabetes myth originated from, most of the good myths are predicated on some truths. Diabetes is a disease where the body fails to synthesize Glucose which is a form of sugar correctly, now this sugar is produced from the body’s digestion process.
This “glucose” sugar however does not necessarily come from eating regular table sugar I mean it does but it also comes from other different sources in our diet most commonly from carbohydrates.
The process is simple then, We eat carbohydrates that are converted into glucose, this glucose is burned by the body as a fuel to create energy that fuels us.
The lack of Insulin to help in the breakdown process of glucose into energy creates a buildup of glucose in the blood thus the Sugar Diabetes reference.
