"I don't take sugary drinks, I prefer malt" lmao
Both sucrose and maltose belong to the same family. Different taste, same death!

.malt get plenty sugar too....No difference from all those soda

You forgot to add malt.

I been think to do some health posts, honestly thought of sugar and salts about two days ago, but time no dey, and then you read my mind. I also got discouraged, make I no go dey post pictures, then the Chinese, arab, and their Nigerian counterparts go fit track and verify me with accuracy. As of now, my and close associates programming skills dey work. We can dormant for behind cognitos, leech behind verified number(s), as long as say you no dey thief or do evil to the unassuming person.


back to the topic.

even rice get sugar.

Another deadly one na salt. Maggie, seasoning, salts in general. Na why some people like Himalayan salt.


Too much of everything no good.

For Nigeria, we go swear say we dey eat very healthy, but we dey boil out all the nutrients from our food like vegetables.


If person dey cook my food or if i cook myself, like soup, they know to put my veggies in for two or three minutes, normally sef, I dey like my veggies on the side, so that I go mix am in myself with the hot soup. My vegetables must dey somehow crunchy, so that I go know say e no cook finish, e dey give me the idea say some nutrients still dey stored in it.

Sometimes there are some exceptions, like when I go restaurant.


Latin America loves sugar like crazy.

Anyways, life is short - less than 150years max. So I do me, but with intake guidance.

how is salt dangerous bros?

Acidosis:


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.

Please, with all due respect sir, leave Aproko dr for us

Why be say sweet things no dy ever good? This life sef.

😔Una for show us the amounts of
sugar in eba, lafu, pounded yam and
akpu make we take compare nah.... ☝️☝️☝️

That's not true,

I wish I can list all I know and also researched about salt; right now, no time.

Do some in depth internet research on salts. Also hear and research what dedicated experts or vast knowledge doctors are saying about it. Salts are just as deadly as sugars.

Sugar is deadlier. Its more deadly than alcohol and drugs and the biggest addiction.
We can do without salt but sugar, that's the genesis of most of the diseases ìin the West. The thing is killing them more than alcohol and drugs combined cos its a silent killer. Nobody ever suspects sugar.

angelEmade:
...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.

You wrote nonsense..

Harrynight:
Even the garri, beans, rice, yam and other food we eat daily are all sugary food

In moderation and they are naturally. It's good.

Asian cuisines cook with sugar and yet they have the most healthy balanced diets.

suffering:
I exercise a lot so no fear.

This thread means nothing to the average Nigerian. Many of us consume water majorly. Soft drinks are at most three times a week. Go outside the country and see people consuming these things with every meal. Their water tastes boring and cold, the only reason you’ll drink it heavily is if you’re into sports. To even hydrate daily I had to mix two litres with Ribena.

Well most these don't affect people that work-out steady. It's people that ain't into any kind of exercise but taking soda drinks regularly it affects in the long run.

Acidosis:


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" )

beans is carbohydrate ...


crazy stuff



then do they say the end product of beans is amino acid

Light78:
I don't drink beer, soft drinks, or wine. Just water.

Guys laugh at me for that.

GOD bless you sir.

May you live long in good health and peace of mind, amen.

sangresan:


Have you read that the carbohydrate in beans is resistant starch?

Very good carb indeed and very filling. Can actually help burn fat if combined with healthy thing. But you know we eat it with fried plantain

The problem is not just the sugar because our daily meals have sugar content. The problem is Nigerians do not burn this excess sugar. Kids food and drinks contains a lot of sugar because their body metabolism is high and they need the energy to play rough play. You as an adult can't keep up with such level of activity.



The bulk of this sugar has a way of storing themselves in the most unwanted places. Stomach, arms, cheeks...etc. While Nigerians are not obesed, they are quite shapeless. Young girls and guys with flat/toned stomachs and arms are gradually going extinct. All this sufferhead burning under hot sun that leads to athritis, anger and depression doesn't count to me.

You're misinformed..

Kids don't need sugar..

When a black person is under the sun then that person is getting healed and getting vitamin D and other benefits as long as the person doesn't stay in the for too long.

sexiestharam:


The ree are Nigerians that are addicted to soft drinks. I have a friend who hasn't drank water in a year. Just drinks.

Lies...

If you don't drink water for more than 3 days you'll suffer from dehydration which can lead to fainting or death.

SUGAR ADDICTION AS DEADLY AS ALCOHOL ADDICTION



#drinkwateronly

no lie is this man right or na for tread. Can you use up to 20 table spoons of sugar for 4litres of zobo?

omo that the reason i always add bitters to my cola....anytime i wanna drink cola

clockwisereport:


You eat rice, yam, cassava, garri?
If yes, you are worse than those that drink soft drinks

Lies..

Those that take soft drinks can die in their sleep or heart attack.

GeneralPula:
Sugar is good for the body!

Whatever you drinking, always librate with water!

And then, if you’re the type that does exercise, you’ve got nothing to worry about!

Sugar is very bad for the body.

Sugar is like coc:aine just that it's not classified as a drug so people don't see it as a drug.

Slaysor:

When diabetes will come,you will know that all death are not the same. Or damaging your brain cells because too much sugar does that too

Diabetes is one among the many big sins of sugar you know.

The most common is yeast infection we call std in women( men body can hide it). Yep, the culprit of most smelly down below for ladies is dear sugar not dorty dorty body and jumping from one bed to the other.

Those energy drinks even have more sugar than other drinks... Get your confirmed agbo Jedi or pile herbs from me to avoid diabetes ooo... health is wealth

I'm interested bin the pile herbs

Usefulsense:


If you think these things you mentioned will kill you fast, try hunger.
Everything we eat actually contains sugar apart from vegetables.

Everything we eat does not contain sugar..

98% of African foods are vegetables, so Africans don't eat sugar..

People that eat bread, chocolates, pizzas, noodles and other European foods are the ones that eat sugar.

Slaysor:

Stop saying what you don't know,cassava,garri and yam are bad but not compared to soft drink. Soft drink is made up of simple sugar,the body doesn't even need to metabolise it. It enters the body and immediately spikes up blood sugar. But yam,cassava,etc are broken down gradually by the body releasing it's sugar slowly into the body. Even though it still spikes blood sugar but not compared to sugar. That is why simple sugar has a high glycemic index than this foods.

Sugar is sugar.

There's nothing like simple sugar.

Every form of sugar is very bad for the body.

Harrynight:

They are not sugary foods.

Acidosis:
These fraudsters and their false alarm. There is no carbohydrate without sugar. A pot of fried rice with sweet corn contains more "sugar" than Coke and Pepsi. You can provide a scientific background on why people should avoid carbonated/processed drinks and food but to out-rightly condemn sugar is tantamount to insa.nity.


Someone on the first page gave a very insightful and smart response.

Lies.

Fried rice does not have sugar.

Coke and Pepsi have more sugar than fried rice.

Stop saying rubbish.

IzzyArts:
nature sugar is better than all these junks... Take pawpaw,banana 🍌

Sugar is sugar..

There's nothing like natural sugar..

Banana and pawpaw are as deadly as soft drinks and have a lot of sugar.

Banana has too much sugar in it.

GeneralPula:

There's a diff between natural sugar & processed sugar..

For Eg, fruits, dairies contained natural sugar like lactose, fructose!

Sugar found in drinks ET all are caloric sweetener! ( Processed sugar)

Natural sugars have many health benefits;
They help in weigh loss, they contain essential vitamins and minerals that are super great for the body!

Sugar is good for the body! Natural sugar precisely!

There's nothing like natural sugar.

Sugar is sugar.

fruits, dairies contained natural sugar like lactose, fructos are as bad as soft drinks.

Stop saying rubbish.
