Should we quit refined sugars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Refined sugars are unhealthy- especially when added to foods and eaten without fiber in the diet. Refined sugars lead to high insulin levels and can even lead to fatty liver. Its best to get sugar from complex carbohydrates such a fresh fruits. The fiber in the fruit, slows down the absorption of sugar into the blood. This helps to minimize the effect of the sugar on insulin levels.
