All soluble carbohydrates, sweet-tasting is called sugar.  All carb foods contain starch and sugar as well.  Now the question is raised that why we need sugary foods?  Are sugary foods required for body?  Are they benefiting body anyhow or not? How much amount of sugar is required daily by the body?  Generally a concept is prevalent in our society that a fair amount of sugar is required daily by the body to generate heat in body.  But no appreciable effect of heat generated by consumption of sugar is noticed in the body.  The sugar is only required and used by the body when we do some physical work. A person engaged in sedentary work requires a very low amount of sugar daily.

Additional and excessive amount of sugar consumption is useless, needless and even harmful because for combustion of sugar in tissues, a fair amount of oxygen is required.  Generally, heat generated by consumption of sugar is not required in any function of the body.  A large amount of fuel is wasted in combustion of sugar and end products are excessively acidic.  A large amount of mineral salts is required to neutralize this acid.  Our body can hardly affords this.

Today, white sugar is used all over the world in beverages, jams, as preservative, cakes, pastries and in confectionery.  All the mineral salts are removed from it during the refining process.  Consumption of white sugar throw excessive burden on the system, especially when a person is already having a high protein and starchy diet.  Therefore, white sugar is nothing less than poison to the system.

According to a recent research most of the diseases like obesity, diabetes and even heart diseases are the result of consumption of sugar loaded foods.  A WHO report says that 1.9 billion adults and 41 million children are obese around the globe.  We should avoid breakfast cereals that are easily available, portable, crunchy and tasty but they contain excessive sugar.  Try to avoid any sugar breakfast cereals that contains added flavor and too much sugar.

Children consume excessively high white sugar products; which result in suffering from measles and fever. Excessive consumption of white sugar is so harmful that is hardly realized.  The best advice that can be given is to avoid it as much as you can.

The best possible form of sugar to the body is eating plenty of fresh fruits and some dried fruit as well. All the sugar the body requires will be supplied through these natural sources.  Even unrefined sugar (brown sugar)  hand-made is much better than white sugar; although, it is not needed at all if one is having plenty of fresh fruit and some dried fruit daily.
