People consume sweet products - fruits, cane and others. for a millennia, because in the process of evolution we have developed a preference for sweet taste, at the expense of the bitter taste, which usually alerts our receptors that the food we eat may be dangerous to us.
Other scientists believe that the taste of sugar reminds people of the taste of breast milk.
It is no coincidence that they have said sugar to be one of the three white poisons - salt, sugar and flour. But it is everywhere, especially in ready-made packaged foods, as well as in literally all products offered by fast food chains.
White sugar is made up entirely of two types of simple sugars (a type of carbohydrates) - glucose and fructose. It does not contain any fats or proteins.
100 g of granulated sugar contains 98 g of carbohydrates, which is equal to 398 kcal. The same amount of brown sugar contains 97.5 g of carbohydrates and 390 kcal. These are the so-called empty calories, which have low nutritional value but are high in energy.
