Molecularly speaking, they are the same. The foods like carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, squash, peas contain "Natural" sucrose in them (fructose+glucose) are the health outcomes the same or the sugar in isolation is more harmful? And is sucrose in...
Sorry for the subject typo, should be "ill after sucralose". I'm not hard core like most of the people I see here. I typically like to do a 42 hour fast on occasion and a daily IF. I'm around 11% body fat...
As you know part of the digestion of starches happens in the mouth from the salivary amylase, that happens when you thouroughly chew the food. My question is if you eat staches from a well blended soup, like a soup with...
So I'm looking for no added sugar cereal but a lot of them contain barley malt extract/syrup. This is described as an unrefined sweetener but it still seems to be about 55% sugar and there is only a negligible fibre,...
When guidelines say that you should have 37 grams of sugar per day, does that just mean added sugar or does it include natural sugar as well?
Glucose, sugar, natural cane sugar, table condiment, carbohydrate, what's the difference? Is sugar collectively known as just sugar, or is there individual properties depending on which kind of sugar you're referring to? ​ I grew up with the mindset that all sugar...
Which one is the best alternative for you?

Googling answers say that adults should have no more than 30g of sugars a day. I'm not too sure whether that's added (I'm guessing) or included with fruits and other stuff. Meanwhile carbohydrate intake is about 300g a day but...
From what I can find they are simple carbs. Is this correct?
Fruit is good for you. Sugar is bad for you. Isn't this a contraddiction? Of course when we talk about sugar, we mean added sugar, but in the end sugar is still sugar. Then why fruit is considered healthy while sugar alone...
Hi everyone, relatively newbie to the realm of nutrition. I’m not sure if this is a “dumb” question or not, but I’m wondering about sugar vs. added sugar. As an example, if something has 7g of total sugar per serving...
I am trying to reach 72 or 100 hours atleast but dizziness makes it scary and impossible. I have early fasting experience with OMAD or easy 30 hours consecutive fasts. This time I want to go further for atleast a...

I believe it doesn’t. It does not raise insulin, have calories, or carbs and a glycemic index of 0. I have 2 teaspoons every morning before I break my fast and I have been very successful. 20 pounds down in...
I wanted to know which which artificial sweeteners cause insulin immunity to avoid them and which ones are safe to use.
Hi everyone! Apologies in advance if this isn’t the right sub, i just couldn’t find a better one. I am in college and due to make a presentation on “Plants that accumulate glucids”. Slightly baffled by this one, i managed...
Here is my (fairly simplified and general) understanding of sugar: * Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, as opposed to complex carbohydrates (starch and fiber). * Both types of carbs supply blood glucose, but complex carbs do it in a...
So I don't know where to post this but if not here then where else. I am a nutrition student myself and we have to prepare a game for when new students come to visit our college - we got...
I had an overly-ripe persimmon today and holy crap that was the sweetest piece of fruit I’ve ever eaten. This got me thinking- what exactly happens when a fruit ripens? And does a very ripe piece of fruit contain more...
I’ve been told all my life that sugar in fruit is “healthy” but sugar in soda isn’t? Is there any real difference or are they basically the same thing?

I am currently doing 48 hour fasts and then eating until I lose my desired amount of weight. I’ve only been doing this for 2 weeks so far and have noticed some difference. Am I being impatient or maybe doing...

Say you're getting at most 7-8% of your calories from added sugars which is within almost all standards for a healthy individual. Does lowering it to say 5% or giving it up altogether have any proven extra benefits? Whether in your...
According to dr eric berg on youtube, he claimed that dried fruits have added sugar and syrup to them. I bought medjool dates, the king of dates and thought it was gonna be healthy for me.. By sugar I mean white...
Is it because they are not tasty or they dont digest correctly compared to raw carrots? Why only raw carrots basically? Or maybe they are good to eat raw?
In [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nutrition/comments/m1q506/how_many_grams_of_sugar_a_day_is_within_a_healthy/) post, the comments were saying that natural sugar (i.e. not added sugar) doesn't count towards your daily allowance, and you should reduce added sugar as much as possible. For example, in one cereal bar it's advertised as "no added...
Added sugar should be limited, but what if a person eats a lot of natural sugar per day?
A lot of people tend to recommend jaggery over sugar as a sweetener. What is the basis for that and is it really healthier?

Yes, I too have seen the 35g for men, and 25g for women recommendation - that seems to be EVERYWHERE... but that is a maximum intake recommendation. What is the ideal range? Is it best to have no added sugar...
Recently started eating dates and wondering is the sugar in them actually bad for you or have some sort of benefit I know I should have them in moderation due to the sugar content but just curious
Is it like fat, like the saturated and unsaturated? Some good, some bad. I've read that the simple carbs are the bad ones but I can still not understand. Are carbs mostly sugars? And are they really that bad?
They have less sugar per calorie much more protein and just a little less fiber as well as plenty of vitamins too
Hello r/nutrition! I have a question about fiber consumption as it relates to sugar metabolization. To protect the liver, does fiber need to be consumed simultaneously with the sucrose (e.g. fruit)? Is it just as beneficial to have a high fiber...
everything i've read or watched about ACV seems to always add a disclaimer that there are very few studies on the benefits of ACV therefore any medicinal claims shouldn't be taken as gospel. of course there are the people that...
So I am embarking on a 10-day water fast, and today was supposedly day 1, however after searching online I noticed that the Magnesium tablets I use to supplement my electrolytes had sucrose as one of the ingredients that covers...
Maybe this is getting into the weeds a bit on the science/chemistry of how our bodies digest, but it has never made sense to me that some complex carbs (polysaccharides) like rice, breakfast cereals, white bread can have a higher...
Just got started with IF, bought a case of Bang zero-calorie energy drinks only to find out after the fact that sucrose will undermine IF for weight loss. I really depend on caffeine in the morning but don't have the...
