O açúcar já é
considerado vilão por muitos motivos: seu alto consumo pode provocar
cáries dentárias, engordar, aumentar o surgimento de espinhas na adolescência,
influenciar em quadros de diabetes... Enfim, apesar de ser um tempero muito
gostoso para alimentos e bebidas, seu consumo em excesso pode ser prejudicial
para a saúde de diversas maneiras e em para pessoas em diferentes
idades.
Além desses efeitos negativos, existem muitos outros que poucas
pessoas conhecem. Para desmascarar todo o mal que o açúcar pode fazer, a
especialista em alimentação e nutrição Nancy 'Appleton', baseando-se em
inúmeros trabalhos científicos, elaborou uma lista com inúmeros itens que
revelam como o açúcar pode ser prejudicial à saúde.
Confira 80 desses itens da lista e veja como algo tão doce pode trazer resultados tão amargos para o corpo:

Depois de conferir alguns itens dessa lista,
você com certeza não deve mais sentir tanta vontade assim de consumir esse
alimento. Contudo, o sabor doce é quase indispensável à dieta de qualquer
pessoa. Se você faz questão de adoçar sua receita, opte por outras alternativas
como mel (natural e nutritivo), melado de cana ou adoçantes naturais (como ostevita). Contudo, mesmo essas opções devem ser acrescentadas comedidamente, em
pequenas quantidades.
