Sausages, sausages and other salty foods contain large amounts of sugar. In this respect aif.ru said Natalya Denisova, Candidate of Medical Sciences, nutritionist, senior researcher at the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology.

The World Health Organization recommends not consuming more than 50 grams of sugar per day. In this case, it is not just the pure sugar that the person eats that is important. It is even added to unsweetened foods: sauces, canned vegetables, bread, sausages and sausages, etc. Manufacturers often hide this by avoiding the word “sugar” when listing ingredients.

“You can tell if a product has added sugar if the ingredients list includes words like sucrose, fructose, dextrose, corn syrup, evaporated cane juice, agave, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup. And if that ingredient is at the top of the ingredients list, that means there is actually a lot of sugar in the product.” It means there are too many,” Denisova explained.

Avoiding semi-finished and convenience foods helps reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. Also, cookies, candies and sweet sodas can be replaced with naturally sugary products: fruits, dried fruits, juices.

“Less sugar in the diet will help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, lower blood pressure and normalize the intestinal microflora, since many pathogenic microorganisms feed on sugar. By reducing calories, you can also prevent excessive weight gain and even reduce it gradually,” the doctor concluded.
