Five things wrong with sugar

We all need sugar. But excess sugar: that is downright unhealthy. Now it seems that sugar consumption in Malaysia seems to be hot in debate. TheSun today through their journalist Karen Arukesamy wrote a report about five things wrong with sugar. Here are the five ultimate sins of sugar: 1. Sugar is unnatural chemical - produced by industries processes by refining it down to pure sucrose, after stripping away vitamins, minerals, proteins enzymes and other nutrients 2. Processed same way as heroin - sugar is first pressed as juice from sugar cane and refined into molasses then into brown sugar and finally into white crystals 3. Almost identical to alcohol - the biochemical make up of white sugar is almost identical to alcohol except fro one molecule 4.Addictive - sugar addicts are much like drug addicts in need, withdrawal and denial where the syptoms include tremors, flu-like symptoms, headaches and intense mood swings 5.Causes slow and insidious damage to the body - refined sugar i

Malaysian Government to increase sugar price?

A couple of days ago various consumer groups proposed Malaysian Government that sugar subsidy should be removed. The rationale behind it is to discourage people from consuming sugar too much. Without subsidy, that would mean an increase of 70% of sugar price! Malaysian sugar dilemma The 2006 National Health and Morbidity Survey said that over40% adults in Malaysia are overweight. That means almost half Malaysian adults are prone to diseases. Apart from not having exercise in their daily routine, most Malaysians consume sugar too much! It is estimated that Malaysians in average take 24 teaspoons of sugar daily, whereas only 10 teaspoon is the recommended daily intake. Price increase, a no-no My view is that price increase would not have desirable effect on sugar consumption. People would still be drinking their teh tarik and colas no matter the subsidy is removed or not. Just take a look at the tobacco industry. Price of cigarettes have been increased more than five times over the last

Artificial Sweetener: The Sweet Misery

If you are consuming artificial sweetener, or thinking to change from sugar to artificial sweetener, let me warn you: you’re escaping from tiger’s mouth to crocodile’s mouth. Artificial sweeteners, even how tempting the slender model looks on the package, are doubtfully benefiting your health. There so much controversy around artificial sweeteners, and while numerous studies were conducted, they are still at large, being consumed by millions of uninformed diabetic patients or weight watchers all around the world. The general conclusion is that the benefit-to-risk ratio of artificial sweeteners is pretty much unclear. And too add confusion, major health governing bodies allow its usage. How can something be unsafe when FDA has approved it? Well’ that’s the mystery. A great deception I am very much against the use of dangerous chemicals over the health of general public. Let’s look at a scenario. An elderly gets diabetes and turn to artificial sweeteners, influenced by the low c

Of late, Malaysians are bombarded with 'all-in-one' coffee drinks everywhere they go. You see them in TV, radio, 'mamak stalls', restaurants, and in the mainstream papers. Featuring healthy natural addition like goji, guarana, ginseng, tongkat ali, and almost everything else, it seems like this industry of instant health-oriented coffee is really gaining buyers attention. In the sachet The 'all-in-one' coffee makers take pride of their coffee mixture. Most of them claim health benefits relating to the usage of their product. While some of the claims might be true, what you rarely notice is the sugar content in each sachet. It surprises me, and it will surprise you! A common sachet is weighed 20g. The content of the sachet is poured in a mug, pour hot water, and there you go! Instant, delicious, healthy coffee. Upon sipping the aromatic blend, you investigate the sachet, curious of what makes it smell and taste good. And it's a lot cheaper than Starbucks! If

Some History about Stevia

Little that the public know about natural sweeteners. What they know is, when its sweet, its sugar. General public does not know or even care about sugar alternatives, unless when they are diabetic, they will start asking pharmacies about artificial sweeteners. While artificial sweeteners may answer some concerns about blood-sugar-levels, they pose another different side effects. And this is where natural sweeteners come into the equation. Stevia Story Stevia, or Stevia Rebaudiana plant, is a member of the Chrysanthemum family, same like Chamomile. Natively found in Paraguay, it has been used for centuries as a natural sweeteners. The Indians of Paraguay (the Guarani tribe) used to call Stevia as "Caa-ehe" that means sweet herb. From there it started; modern scientists began to study this herb and in 1930's, the first documentation of Stevia compounds were published. From that point onwards, Stevia gained worldwide popularity, where it is grown and used in more than 30 c

You like sweet?

Dear Stevia friends, If you haven't heard about Stevia, then be informed, that Stevia will change your lifestyle in near future. Let me ask you a question: just how much sugar do we consume everyday? How much sugar in our coffee? How about our food? For most of us, we take a lot of sugar daily, with or without noticing. Sugar is good, but the danger starts when sugar is taken excessively. Modern food and beverage products over the counter are so irresistible. They taste good, that's why! But tasting good involves a lot of ingredients, and sugar being the main one. No company will ever highlight sugar percentage in their commercial products. Doing that would say: "Don't buy our product! You will catch diabetes!" Our body needs sugar We need energy. We need sugar to complement our diet. Our body digests and absorbs sugars rapidly, and quickly turns them into saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. This must be used through fat-burning activities or else it will star
