不敢吃糖？科学家揭示人们对糖的8个误解[1]

You are more likely to develop diabetes if you are overweight or obese, because extra fat can lead to insulin resistance, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases. This makes a diet heavy in sugar an indirect, rather than a direct cause of type 2 diabetes.

据美国国立糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所称，如果你超重或肥胖，你患上糖尿病的可能性更大，因为多余的脂肪会引发胰岛素抵抗。这使得多糖饮食成为导致ll型糖尿病的间接而非直接的原因。

MYTH: Artificial sweeteners are better for you than sugar

误解：相比糖，人工甜味剂对身体更好

FACT: Some artificial sweeteners can be just as harmful to your body as sugar.

事实：一些人工甜味剂对身体的危害跟糖不相上下。

Although artificial sweeteners like Stevia, Truvia, and aspartame (as found in diet sodas) have fewer calories than their sugary counterparts, research shows that participants who drink diet soda are twice as likely to be obese than those who do not.

尽管像无糖汽水中含有的甜菊糖、赤藻糖、阿斯巴甜等人工甜味剂比天然糖热量更低，但研究显示，喝无糖汽水的人肥胖的可能性比不喝无糖汽水的人高一倍。

A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that saccharine — an artificial sweetener — is more addictive than cocaine. Another study published by the American Diabetes Association found that diet soda drinkers were 67 percent more likely to develop diabetes than non-diet soda drinkers.
