Top 10 "Healthy" Sweets That Are Killing You
"Healthy" bars labeled "fitness" are a myth.
Most of them contain more sugar than a bar of milk chocolate.
For example, popular protein bars often disguise sweeteners as "natural syrups," which leads to spikes in blood glucose.
The main "killer" is low-fat yogurts with fruit additives. According to Bloomberg , manufacturers increase the proportion of sugar in such products to 20 g per serving, compensating for the lack of fat.
Even more dangerous are airy chocolate bars that are positioned as light. Nestle, for example, reduced the weight of Aero to 36 g, but increased the sugar concentration by 15%.
But the most unexpected enemy is dried fruits.
Nutritionist Alexey Kovalkov warns:
“Raisins or glazed dates are a sugar bomb.
Their glycemic index is higher than that of white bread.” A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has proven that regular consumption of dried fruits increases the risk of diabetes by 18%.
What to do? Choose sweets with cocoa products without additives.
For example, organic chocolate Pacari or carob candies, which taste like cocoa but contain 60% less sugar.
