Sugar - one of the major products forming the basis of a human diet. There can sometimes be a situation in which will or bondage it is necessary partially or even completely to refuse it. But it doesn't mean deterioration of life at all. It is quite real to sugar to find a worthy alternative.
Why people refuse sugar
Sugar is contraindicated sick diabetes, causes caries, promotes increase in arterial blood pressure, without speaking about that, how catastrophically it can affect a condition of a figure. Sometimes refusal of it it is possible to save life in a literal sense. Alternatives of ""sweet death"" exists not so a little, from synthetic sweetener to quite itself natural substitutes. Each of them has the advantages and shortcomings.
The person feels taste not only as language, but also a nose. Therefore sometimes it is quite sufficient to season a dish or drink with some fragrance, for example vanilla or cinnamon that the brain finished thinking about sweet already.
Synthetic sweeteners
Synthetic substitutes, for example, xylitol or цикламат contain the practical zero number of calories and don't influence sugar level indicators in blood at all. Their sweet differs depending on the name and a form of release - liquid, in the form of tablets or powder. Some of them don't collapse also at high temperatures therefore they can be used in the course of cooking and even to put in pastries. It is about such sweeteners as цикламат or saccharin. At the same time it is impossible to forget that sugar not only impacts relish to confectionery, but promotes binding of ingredients between itself therefore with only one saccharin egg sponge can not turn out. Besides for a long time it was noticed that, despite almost zero caloric content, artificial sweeteners are quite capable to promote a body weight gain. Scientists connect this paradox with the fact that the organism, reacting to their taste, throws out excess insulin which sends all carbohydrates met by it to a fat stock in blood.
Synthetic podstlastil can become the cause of some serious diseases.
Stevia
In recent years on the market the stevia - the sweetener similar to the synthetic fellows, but only externally broke through. Because at the heart of tablets, powder or liquid with a stevia the extract from the ordinary-looking grass growing in Paraguay with the name of the same name lies. In 2010 the international commission finished a number of researches, having drawn a conclusion that this substitute is quite safe for health and allowed its mass production. As the components which are a part of a stevia perfectly pass test by high temperatures, they can quite be used also in pastries.
Natural substitutes
Sucrose habitual to us is disaccharide and the refusal of it can sometimes mean only transition to other type of sugar, for example, fructose. At the same time it is necessary to remember that others of sugar can differ a little on taste from so familiar lump sugar, also their quantity sufficient for giving of desirable sweet can vary in any given party. Therefore it is necessary to experiment a little before it is possible to find desirable balance, but in case of success alternative sugar will be able quite to replace with themselves sucrose.
