Frequently consuming sugar may promote excessive calorie intake and weight gain. This may be because it generally contains a high amount of fructose menu. Which is unhealthy when consumed in large amounts.
For example, table sugar contains 50% glucose and 50% fructose, while high fructose corn syrup contains about 45% glucose and 55% fructose. Research shows that both affect appetite and calorie intake the same way UFABET
A researcher in a recent review also pointed out that all fructose-containing sugars. Including honey, agave nectar and fruit juice — have the same potential for causing weight gain.
What’s more, several studies link excess fructose to weight gain. A high intake seems to promote belly fat, which increases disease risk.
Sodas and other sweet drinks make it easy to consume large doses of sugar and fructose in a very short period of time. As stated above, these calories aren’t adequately compensated for later in the day.
However, even when calorie intake is controlled, a high intake of liquid sugars may lead to an increase in body fat.
In a 10-week study, people with overweight and obesity consumed 25% of calories as fructose-sweetened beverages at a calorie level. That should have maintained their weight. Instead, insulin sensitivity decreased and belly fat increased.
Although lack of compliance could explain these results, some evidence suggests high fructose intake reduces energy expenditure. A separate analysis found that fat burning and metabolic rate decreased in those who followed this fructose-rich diet for 10 weeks
