不敢吃糖？科学家揭示人们对糖的8个误解[1]

误解：你应该完全不吃糖

FACT: Humans need glucose to survive.

事实：人类需要葡萄糖才能生存。

Of course, having too much sugar will lead to the problems we discussed above, like weight gain and long term health problems. But, glucose is essential to our body.

当然，吃太多糖会导致我们上面所说的问题，比如体重增加和慢性疾病。但是，葡萄糖对我们的身体至关重要。

"This idea that sugar is inherently bad for you is a myth," Dr. Haythe said. "We all need sugar; that's the basic block of what runs our bodies. It's necessary to survive.

海耶斯博士说：“糖对身体本质上不好是个误解。我们都需要糖，这是让人体运转的基本组成部分。糖是让我们存活的必需物质。”

MYTH: Sugar is the root of all of your health problems

误解：糖是各种身体问题的根源

FACT: Sugar is rarely the only reason behind obesity and heart disease.

事实：糖并不是肥胖和心脏病背后的唯一原因。

There's no doubt that sugar is a contributing factor to obesity. But it isn't the only thing to consider when trying to lead a healthy lifestyle.

糖无疑是导致肥胖的原因之一，但如果要过上健康的生活，糖并不是唯一要考虑的因素。

"Sugary foods happen to have lots of calories, and are usually heavily processed," Dr. Haythe said. "It's simple — if you eat a lot of calories, you'll gain weight and become unhealthy."
