Zero-calorie sugar is a substitute for sugar. After sugar substitutes enter the human body, they do not participate in metabolism and generate heat, which will not lead to too much sugar in the body, so zero-calorie sugar has no heat. However, eating too much sugar substitutes will have a certain impact on health.
"Sugar substitute" food is characterized by not adding sugar (such as white sugar, granulated sugar, sucrose, glucose, etc. ), but use sugar instead, so the food is sweet. Food packaging is usually marked as "sugar-free", and there are many kinds of sugar substitutes, which can be generally divided into nutritional sweeteners and non-nutritional sweeteners according to whether they produce heat or not.
It should be noted that there are exceptions to everything. At present, there are many zero-calorie sweets that are twice as sweet and three times as sweet, which are equivalent to 2g or 3g sugar of1g. Ordinary people don't use grams of scales or grams of spoons to cook, so it is difficult to evaluate how much sweet zero-calorie candy should be used.
The difference between zero-calorie sugar and ordinary sugar
1, sugar content: ordinary sugar is pure sugar, while zero-calorie sugar is generally composed of some low-calorie or no-calorie sweeteners and additives, with little or no sugar content. Therefore, if you need to control your sugar intake, zero-calorie sugar is a better choice.
2, calorie content: ordinary sugar has a high calorie content, about 4 kilocalories per gram of sugar. Zero-calorie candy contains almost no calories because its main ingredients are sweeteners and additives.
3. Sweetness: Ordinary sugar has a high sweetness and presents a natural sweetness. However, the different sweeteners and additives used in zero-calorie candy may affect its sweetness and taste. Some people think that its sweetness is similar to ordinary sugar, while others think that its taste is a bit strange.
