Candy can lead to feeling relaxed and happy. However, the sweet taste often raises concerns about the effects on health. But this is refuted by the results of recent studies, which mentioned that eating sweets does not cause health problems. Here is an explanation of candy
Researchers collected data in the United States. The survey participants were divided into three categories based on the consumption of sweets and chocolate for 12 months ago.
Category
of 'rare' consume candy are less than three times a month, while the
'moderate', more than three times a month to less than 3.5 times a week.
Those who suck on candy more than 3.5 times per week were classified 'often'.
Once
analyzed, it is known that the frequency of candy consumption was
associated with an increase risk of obesity such as waist circumference
and skinfold thickness. Blood
pressure, insulin resistance, as well as three types of cholesterol
(LDL, HDL, and triglycerides) are a marker of cardiovascular disease
risk was also not affected.
Increased
frequency of sweets consumption in adults in the U.S. have nothing to
do with objective measurements against adiposity or selected
cardiovascular risk factors.
Analysis
of the National Cancer Institute of the same data mentioned that candy
accounts for about 44 calories per day, or approximately 2% of the total
caloric intake of the average adult.
In
contrast to the sugary drinks contribute up to 60%, confectionery
accounted for only about 5 grams or 20 calories of added sugar in the
daily consumption of an adult. For information, limit added sugar recommended by the American Heart Association is 100-150 calories.
Moreover,
when compared with the total recommended daily intake of saturated fat
27.8 grams, candy only accounted for less than 1 gram of saturated fat.
There
is always a place for the little pleasures, such as candy, in this
life. Sweets in excessive levels can not give a positive effect on mood
and contentment . and the risk is minimal impact on diet and health.
However, can not be concluded that the consumption of sweets do not cause obesity and cardiovascular risk levels untoward. Moreover, this analysis is only based on the frequency of consumption, not the number of sweets in the curricula.
