SUGAR.
WE EAT IT, WE DRINK IT.
SOME EVEN TRY TO AVOID IT.
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CAN CONSUME SOME 80 POUNDS OF SUGAR
ANNUALLY.
BUT AS ANYONE WITH A SWEET TOOTH KNOWS, IT'S HARD TO ESCAPE THE
HEALTH CONCERNS ABOUT SUGAR AND POPULAR ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS.
AND FOR THOSE WITH DIABETES, SUGAR CONTROL IS EVEN MORE
CRITICAL.
JOINING TODAY'S DISCUSSION IS SCIENTIST AND HEALTH PHYSICIST
HORST KRUPP.
ALSO JOINING US LENA WONG OF BAXCO PHARMACEUTICAL.
IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU GUYS WITH US.
THIS IS A VERY VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC.
DOCTOR, LET'S BEGIN WITH YOU.
WHAT ARE SOME POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR MEN AND WOMEN EATING
FOOD AND DRINKING BEVERAGES CONTAINING REGULAR TABLE SUGAR.
BASICALLY, REGULAR TABLE SUGAR IS VERY EASILY SPLIT UP AND
BROKEN UP BY THE BODY INTO IT'S COMPONENTS FRUCTOSE AND GLUCOSE.
GLUCOSE INCREASES IMMEDIATELY YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL.
RIGHT.
AND FRUCTOSE, IT WILL BE DIRECTLY CONVERTED TO FAT AND
STORED.
WHEN YOU EAT TOO MUCH SUGAR THEN ALSO THE EXCESSIVE GLUCOSE WILL
BE CONVERTED INTO FAT AND STORED.
AND WHEN YOU EAT MORE SUGAR THAN YOUR BODY CAN STORE, IT ALL GOES
TO FAT.
THAT IS 100% NOT WHAT WE WANT.
ALSO, MANY BELIEVE THAT ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS ARE A
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE.
IS THAT TRUE?
IT'S NOT TRUE.
A LOT OF THESE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS HAVE ASPARTAME IN IT.
AND SACCHARIN WHICH IS NOT GOOD.
AND THEY ARE CHEMICALLY MAN MADE.
YES.
AND YOU KNOW, FOR US AS CONSUMERS, ULTIMATES ABOUT
TASTES AND IT HAS A WEIRD CHEMICALLY AFTER TASTE WHICH WE
DON'T ENJOY.
AND THESE ARTIFICIAL SUGARS OR SWEETENERS CAN HAVE DEVASTATING
HEALTH EFFECTS.
YES.
THAT'S TRUE.
WE FOUND THAT.
EVEN WHEN EAT COCO COLA WITH THESE KINDS OF SUGARS IN THEM.
THEY SAY IT CAN POTENTIALLY PRODUCE CANCER.
THAT'S TRUE.
AND DOCTOR REGULAR SUGAR CAN ALSO BE PROBLEMATIC, RIGHT?
REGULAR SUGAR IS PROBLEMATIC.
BECAUSE IT WILL BE CONVERTED IN YOUR BODY INTO FAT AND WITH MORE
AND MORE SUGAR INTAKE YOU GET MORE AND MORE GLUCOSE INTOLERANT
AND INSULIN INTOLERANT.
THAT MEANS, BASICALLY, THAT YOU ARE ON THE WAY INTO A DIABETES.
SO, 70% OF THE AMERICANS ARE ON THE WAY TO DIABETES TODAY.
THAT'S A SHOCKING NUMBER.
SO, IT CAN EFFECT TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 DIABETES.
NO, TYPE 1 IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
REALLY?
TELL ME ABOUT THAT.
THEY NEED INSULIN ALRIGHT AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY.
BUT THE TYPE 2 HAS TOO MUCH INSULIN.
AND TOO MUCH INSULIN IS VERY VERY BAD.
INSULIN IS A FAT STORAGE HORMONE.
WHEN YOU HAVE INSULIN IN YOUR BODY YOU CANNOT BURN FAT.
BUT I'M EXCITED BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT SOME SUGAR IN TODAY.
IT'S CALLED SIN FREE SUGAR.
AND IT IS A BIT DIFFERENT.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
YES.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS.
SIN FREE SUGAR WITHOUT THE CALORIES.
ZERO CALORIES.
WAIT A MINUTE.
ZERO CALORIES?
ZERO CALORIES.
WE LOVE THAT LADIES, DON'T WE LOVE THAT?
NO WEIGHT GAIN.
AND NO ELEVATED BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS.
WHICH IS GOOD.
AND ALSO IT'S A ZERO INSULIN RESPONSE.
FROM A WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, AS WE AGE, WE NEED FEWER
AND FEWER CALORIES EVERYDAY TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
WE DO.
AND SIN FREE SUGAR HAS A VERY INTERESTING HEALTH ASPECT.
IT CONTAINS ALL THE 8 ESSENTIAL SUGARS.
WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY BECAUSE OUR BODIES USE THESE
SUGARS FOR INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION.
WONDERFUL TO KNOW.
YOU CAN ONLY ACHIEVE OPTIMUM HEALTH WHEN YOU GET ALL THE 8
ESSENTIAL SUGARS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
AND THESE 8 ESSENTIAL SUGARS ARE FOUND IN MUSHROOMS, ALOE VERA,
LOTS OF FRUITS.
SEA WEED.
WOW.
SO, YOU'RE GETTING IT ALL IS ONE SHOT.
AND YOU AND I WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING.
YOU CAN COOK WITH SIN FREE SUGAR, RIGHT?
I MEAN, YOU CAN MAKE DESSERTS?
YES.
IT'S GREAT FOR COOKING.
AND BAKING.
SO ANY RECIPE THAT CALLS FOR GRANULATED SUGAR OR WHAT WE CALL
TABLE SUGAR YOU CAN REPLACE WITH SIN FREE SUGAR.
THE TRANSITION IS SEAMLESS.
WOW.
AND THE TASTE IS GREAT.
ESPECIALLY FOR BAKING.
ALL OF THESE WERE MADE WITH SIN FREE SUGAR.
EXACTLY.
IT'S GOOD FOR BROWNING, CARAMELIZATION, FLAVOR AIREY AND
LIGHT.
WHICH WE LOOK FOR.
NOT JUST ONLY FOR COOKING BUT, YOU KNOW PUTTING IN YOU TEA,
YOUR LEMONADE, YOUR COFFEE.
LOVE THIS!
AS YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH AN EPIDEMIC WITH CHILD DIABETES,
TYPE 2.
AND OBESITY.
SO, THIS ALLOWS OUR KIDS TO ENJOY THEIR SWEETS BECAUSE AT
THE END OF THE DAY THEY ARE STILL CHILDREN.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT.
YES.
AND THE BENEFITS OF IT ALSO IS THAT BACTERIA DOES NOT FEED ON
SIN FREE.
THEREFORE THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOOTH DECAY AND CAVITIES ARE
UNLIKELY.
ALSO, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT JUST FOR DIABETICS.
THIS IS FOR THE AVERAGE HEALTHY NORMAL PERSON.
YES.
BECAUSE THIS SUGAR DOESN'T NEED TO BE STORED IN THE BODY.
BECAUSE IT GOES THROUGH YOU AND IT HAS NO INSULIN RESPONSE.
