FMCGs Use Different Names For Sugars: We all know that it is
imperative to have a nutritious diet to stay healthy and fit, but due to lack
of time in today's fast and running era, we have become accustomed to eating
packaged food, how harmful are the ingredients used in it. We don't know.
In this too, the demand for products sold in the name of hygienic-mineral-rich
healthy food in the market today has increased. However, most of these FMCG
companies have been found to covertly serve unhealthy ingredients to consumers
by giving code names to food products.
Similarly, sugar is being added under different names. So
the consumer does not know how much sugar he is consuming through this packaged
food. Consumers are overwhelmed as ingredients available in food packets list
sugar not as sugar but by other names.
Know different names of sugar like this
Natural sugars are essential for health. However added sugar has
adverse health effects. Added sugar has over 60 different names. Food companies
sell products using it. These names are hard to remember, but the ingredients
are sugar, ending in OSE, OL, and SYRUP. Cold drinks, fruit juices, flavored yogurts,
cereals, cookies, biscuits, cakes, candies, and most processed foods contain
added sugar. In addition to soups, breads, ketchup, and protein powders, many
health drinks and protein bars also contain sugar under different names. Many
research reports and doctors are warning that eating too much sugar causes
obesity, diabetes, pancreas, and stomach damage.
Heart attack-related problems due to sugar
Heart attack-related problems are also seen due to sugar.
According to a report from Howard University, people who consume 17 to 21
percent of their calories from sugar have a 38 percent increased risk of
cardiovascular disease (heart attack). So eating too much and added sugar in
the long run can also lead to heart-related diseases.

Is brown sugar good for health???
Many people believe that coconut sugar and palm sugar are
healthier than refined sugar. The reason behind this may be its price. Since
coconut and palm sugar are three to four times more expensive than normal, many
people believe that more expensive is always better for health. Due to this,
instead of sugar, they prefer to take expensive processed sugar of various
kinds. But it is equally hazardous to health.
