00:00Sugar is the new tobacco.
00:02It is not only addictive to food, but it is also addictive to crores of rupees.
00:07Should we call it sugar or refined sugar?
00:09When there is so much loss due to it, then why are the big companies of the country and the world doing business of billions of rupees in it?
00:17Today, in India, the sugar market is around Rs. 62,000 crores, which is likely to be around Rs. 81,000 crores in 2028.
00:27Such a big market of billions of rupees, then why is sugar seen as a disease?
00:32Why are health conscious people running away from sugar today?
00:36It is not as simple as you think it is.
00:48Hello, my name is Ankur. Welcome to the city of vision.
00:52Whenever you eat sweets, you feel happy.
00:56It is possible that you feel like eating more sweets.
00:59What happens when you eat sweets?
01:02That you do not feel full while eating.
01:04This strong desire to eat sweets is called sugar craving.
01:08But when you find out that eating sweets can cause a serious disease like diabetes,
01:15then you start feeling a little scared.
01:18Can eating sweet fruits or vegetables cause such a disease?
01:22Let's talk openly on this topic today.
01:25Before starting the video, let me introduce you to some figures.
01:30India is called the diabetic capital.
01:33Because diabetes is the fastest-growing disease in India in the 21st century.
01:40According to a research, 74 million people are currently suffering from diabetes.
01:45By 2045, this number is likely to reach 124 million.
01:53At the same time, 90% of these people have type 2 diabetes.
01:59For this, we must first understand what sugar is.
02:04Sugar is a type of carbohydrate.
02:07Now you will say, what is this carbohydrate?
02:10Carbohydrate, which is also called carbs in short.
02:14It is a fuel for our body.
02:17For example, without it, our body will not be able to get energy.
02:21Carbohydrate is made up of three things.
02:24Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
02:27These three things together provide energy to our body.
02:31Now let's know how it happens.
02:34When you eat sugar, our body breaks it into glucose and fructose.
02:41This is where glucose is born.
02:44And this is the compound in which energy is stored in our body.
02:50Our brain functions, muscles and other parts of the body work well with glucose.
02:56You must have seen an ad for glucose on TV.
03:00How a child drinks glucose in a glass and gets energy in it.
03:05By the way, sugar is mainly of two types.
03:08Processed sugar, this sugar is extracted from natural sources.
03:14But it is processed.
03:16Due to which the fibers, vitamins and minerals present in it are removed.
03:22Due to which all nutrients come out of it.
03:26This sugar is used in drinks, packaging food, etc.
03:30The second is natural sugar.
03:32Natural sugar is found in fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
03:37Fructose is found in fruits.
03:40Lactose is found in milk.
03:43And the grains found in grains are called maltose.
03:47In addition to sugar content, fibers, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants are also found.
03:55Which makes it healthy.
03:58But now the question arises, which sugar do we have diabetes from?
04:03When you eat natural sugar, it grows slowly.
04:07Because it contains a lot of fiber, vitamins and nutrients.
04:12Which slows down the digestion process.
04:16This does not cause a sugar spike.
04:18Due to which weight gain, insulin resistance and diabetes problems are reduced.
04:25But if we talk about refined sugar.
04:27Then it does not contain any type of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
04:33When you consume refined sugar, it dissolves quickly in your bloodstream.
04:40Because of the lack of nutrients, the digestion process also starts very quickly.
04:46As soon as a high amount of sugar enters your body, it quickly spikes the sugar.
04:53But as soon as you consume more sugar, this process breaks.
04:59Due to which changes start coming in your body.
05:02You start getting irritated.
05:04Due to this process, you have a desire to eat more sugar.
05:08This habit of yours invites many diseases.
05:14Like weight gain.
05:16Frequent sugar spike breaks the process of your hunger.
05:22You start eating more than usual.
05:26As soon as you start eating more refined sugar.
05:30The liver starts storing extra refined sugar as fat.
05:35Due to which your weight starts increasing.
05:38Number 2, the risk of diseases increases.
05:41People who have chronically high blood sugar.
05:45The risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes also increases.
05:50Not only this, by consuming more refined sugar.
05:53The risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, fatty liver disease also increases rapidly.
06:00The third problem is dental problems.
06:02That is, refined sugar increases bacteria in your mouth.
06:07Due to which acid production occurs.
06:10This acid damages the enamel layer of the teeth.
06:14Due to which the risk of sudden cavities and teeth also increases.
06:19The fourth problem is the decrease of BDNF.
06:23BDNF is very important for the growth and survival of the brain cell.
06:29A research says that whenever you consume more refined sugar.
06:34Your BDNF level decreases.
06:38Due to which it has a bad effect on the functioning of your brain.
06:42And your brain is not able to work properly.
06:45According to a report by Harvard.
06:47If you consume more than 8% of your calorie sugar every day.
06:52The risk of heart disease increases.
06:57So how much refined sugar should we take?
07:01According to WHO.
07:05We should take less than 10% of your daily calorie from refined sugar.
07:11According to American Heart Association.
07:14Men should not take more than 36 grams and 150 calories of refined sugar in a day.
07:22If we talk about women.
07:24Women should not take more than 25 grams or 100 calories of refined sugar in a day.
