BITTERNESS OF SUGAR : DIABETES

Sugar is ill-named due to possessing the property of sweetness. Sugar as a food commodity like salt has committed no crime. Why blame sugar for causing the disease of diabetes? Doctors advise patients to become sugar-free. Most of the health problems are caused by the sweetness. If sugar had tasted bitter or sour there was no issue of associating the disease of diabetes with the fair name of sugar. Unfortunately sugar was ordained with the property of sweetness hence it suffers a bad name bad fame and an unfair claim of causing the disease. Doctors advise people to stay sugar-free not salt-free. The disease of diabetes is the disease of the masses and it has spread all over the world for no fault of sugar but due to the sweetness because people have a craving for sweet. Sweetness is the bait by which people are trapped and become victimized to diabetes.  In fact doctors should blame the sweetness and not the sugar. Problem is that sweetness is not a physical commodity and is not available in the market. Let us go a bit deeper into the subject of diabetes caused by sugar. The food we eat has proteins carbohydrates and fats. It produces glucose/sugar which enters the blood stream. The pancreas produces the hormone insulin which combines with the glucose to convert into energy.
