How is beans sugary food?

Beans is high in Carbohydrates. Your body breaks down the carbohydrate in beans into glucose.

Granulated or a cube of sugar (sucrose) contains both glucose and fructose. This means that the same elements you would find in beans, you would also find in a cube of sugar.

Note: A cube of sugar contains 50% glucose (required for energy) and 50% fructose (might be hard to break down only when taken in "extreme-excess" )

I don't really consume soda drinks like that. My favorite drinks are Tiger nut milk drink, Coconut milk and zobo Drink.. And I do make them myself.

My problem here is ketchup. I literally eat most of my meals with ketchup.
all the food in this world will kill you, stop eating them, drink only water. You will be fine. I'm a coke addict, I've been drinking coke since I was 10, now I'm about to clock 45, two months ago I checked my sugar level, it's very normal almost Low sef. Someone will be paid to discredit food companies,come on line and start telling you all food are poisonous. Yeye

SUGAR ADDICTION AS DEADLY AS ALCOHOL ADDICTION



#drinkwateronly

Your body needs sugar for energy, just be mindful of your intake.

Low sugar level is almost as deadly as high sugar level. Just strike a balance in your sugar intake.

less starch, more protein. But e no cheap

Most of your protein sources like beef, milk, etc. also contain saturated fat (another "wahala" ).

Go and eat whatever you want to eat but do everything in moderation. The most important thing is having a balanced diet. Avoiding a particular class of food (without any allergic reaction or personal recommendation from your doctor) is mere punishment. Do not be a victim of one man's insanity and please stop following the likes of Aproko doctor.

At the end of the day, go for regular check up once or twice in a year to know your health status, so you can make adjustment when the need arise.

Many don't even know their sugar level. They just assume and panic unnecessarily.

...the sugar in a plate of semo,amala, akpu, pounded yam, etc. Will amount to about a box of cube sugars. The irony here is that the glucose and other monosaccharides in these drinks are a form of carbohydrates just like the disaccharides in complex sugars like sucrose (normal sugar)
.
Although all carbohydrates are reduced to glucose and consequently glycogen which are stored in the liver in complex metabolism reactions in the body, you cannot exactly compare these simple sugars to normal sugars.
.
And ironically, the malt we so much prefer to soda drinks contain Maltose which are complex sugars. A molecule of maltose can comparatively yield two molecules of monosaccharides in these soda drinks.
.
My point is that starch and carbohydrates like corn syrups and the foods I mentioned up there are much worse than these drinks. And although their intake should be controlled...it would be a futile endeavour if you keep supplementing them with excess starchy foods.
.
Malt is not a saviour either.

Very astute presentation.

However, the rate of release of these sugars into the bloodstream should also be considered.

It can take up to 4 hours to digest Akpu, but Fanta dumps all that sugar into the system in an instant.

Also remember that Coke or 7-Up won't fill up the belly like, say, Amala would. It will rather cause the body to crave more sugars and carbs.

We cannot avoid carbs, in fact, we should reduce carb intake in favour of proteins and fiber-rich foods, but these fizzy drinks?

Bad news on a stick.

Correct. What we need to be concerned about is added sugars.

our forefathers were trekking daily to farms and doing other physical activities so they we’re burning the sugar. Today we spend our time on laptops/computers , tv, phones and video games. Consuming these things without burning it. Imagine eating eba and adding 50 cl coke. Then you go and sleep. Slow killer
