There are many people who are convinced of the following: daily consumption of tea or coffee with sugar poses a huge health risk.
For this reason, some gourmets prefer not to add granulated sugar to their favorite drink at all.
But is this the right approach? It turns out, no.
Employees of one of the higher educational institutions in the Netherlands have found out that the dangers of sugar are exaggerated.
It turned out that a person does not cause any harm to his body, even if he drinks tea or coffee with sugar for years.
But there is an important nuance: you can’t overdo it with the sweet additive.
If you put several spoons of sugar in your tea or coffee every time, your health is unlikely to improve. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Maximum amount of sugar per cup of tea or coffee
If you want to stay healthy, do not add more than five grams of granulated sugar to the drink.
This is the volume that fits into one level teaspoon, lenta.ru reports, citing Dutch scientists whose research results have been presented in foreign publications.
If you follow this simple rule, then regular tea drinking or coffee consumption will not have any negative consequences for your health.
Earlier it became known why you shouldn’t drink coffee immediately after waking up.
