The skinny on sugar
If you're trying to lose weight, you know public enemy numero uno is refined sugar.
Cane, beet, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, they are none of them of any food value. They all raise insulin and convert in the body as stored fat. Too much blood sugar can cause Type 2 diabetes. Sugar-laden carbohydrates constitute the infamous "junk carbs"(not bread or starch that is so often deemed the culprit). Bread with sweeteners and without whole grains or fiber is empty carbs too. But you can't get rid of sugar completely or you could just go crazy with deprivation and cravings.
