Salty carbohydrates and processed foods get converted into sugar in the body. Therefore, even if it is not direct sugar, it can make you a diabetic patient. Let us know from the dietitian whether eating sugar and sweet things causes diabetes.
According to nutritionist, weight loss coach and keto dietician Swati Singh, eating sugar does not cause diabetes. Yes, if you have diabetes then eating sugar increases it. But people who are not diabetic and suppose someone likes ice cream very much. He follows a good lifestyle daily. Works out daily. Quite slim.
In such a situation, if he wants to eat ice cream every day. So he can eat easily. It does not mean that the person will become a diabetes patient. If a person eats grains as soon as he wakes up in the morning, even if it is not sweet but salty grains, then he may develop diabetes. If he eats white rice in the afternoon which is not sweet. Eats too much bread, processed food. Eats salty chips and salty biscuits every evening. So that person is sure to have diabetes. Because every type of salty carbohydrate gets converted into sugar in the body.
If you take 4 grams of carbohydrate then 1 teaspoon of sugar is going into the body. If you are eating 1 bread for breakfast which has 15 grams of carbohydrate. This means you are getting 4 teaspoons of sugar. Do you think that by eating bread you are eating 4 teaspoons of sugar? This means that if you eat 3 breads in the morning, 10-12 spoons of sugar goes into your body.
