Nutritionists have found it in themselves to blame our chronic ills on virtually any element of the diet or environment – on fats and cholesterol, on protein and meat, on gluten and glycoproteins, growth hormones and oestrogens and antibiotics, on the absence of fibre, vitamins and minerals, and surely on the presence of salt, on processed foods in general, on over-consumption and sedentary behaviour – before they'll concede that it's even possible that sugar has played a unique role in any way other than merely getting us all to eat too damn much. And so, when a few informed authorities over the years did indeed risk their credibility by suggesting sugar was to blame, their words had little effect on the beliefs of their colleagues or on the eating habits of a population that had come to rely on sugar and sweets as the rewards for the sufferings of daily life.
营养学家发现,他们自己就把我们的慢性疾病归咎于几乎任何饮食或环境因素——脂肪和胆固醇、蛋白质和肉类、谷蛋白和糖蛋白、生长激素和雌激素和抗生素、纤维、维生素和矿物质的缺乏、当然还有盐、加工食品、过度消费和久坐行为——在他们承认“除了吃得太多,糖还可能以某种方式发挥着独特的作用”之前
So how do we establish a safe level of sugar consumption? In 1986, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that most experts considered sugar safe. And when the relevant research communities settled on caloric imbalance as the cause of obesity and saturated fat as the dietary cause of heart disease, the clinical trials necessary to begin to answer this question were never pursued.
那么我们如何确定一个安全的糖摄入量呢?1986年,美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)得出结论,大多数专家认为糖是安全的
The traditional response to the how-little-is-too-much question is that we should eat sugar in moderation – not eat too much of it. But we only know we're consuming too much when we're getting fatter or manifesting other symptoms of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
对于“多少才算多”这个问题,通常的回答是我们吃糖应适量,不能吃太多
Insulin resistance is the fundamental defect present in type 2 diabetes, and perhaps obesity too. Those who are obese and diabetic also tend to be hypertensive; they have a higher risk of heart disease, cancer and strokes, and possibly dementia and even Alzheimer's as well. If sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are the cause of obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance, then they're also the most likely dietary trigger of these other diseases. Put simply: without these sugars in our diets, the cluster of related illnesses would be far less common than it is today.
