毫无疑问,美国人喜欢他们的食物(和饮料)甜蜜。但随着腰围的扩大和糖尿病的流行迫在眉睫,我们正在寻找新的方法来获得我们的甜蜜修复,而没有卡路里或内疚。输入赤藓糖醇.
您可能还没有听说过它,但是赤藓糖醇已慢慢地进入我们的饮食中,最近被谷歌列为其最热门的搜索词之一。赤藓糖醇是一种糖醇,已被食品公司多年来用于减肥食品,包括糖果,口香糖,冷冻甜点,漱口水,蛋白质棒和水果酱.
什么是赤藓糖醇?
尽管它们的名字,糖醇根本不含任何酒精。它们的化学结构是糖分子和醇分子的组合,但它们不像任何一种。有几种糖醇(也称为多元醇),它们的名称通常以“醇”结尾,例如山梨糖醇,甘露糖醇,木糖醇,乳糖醇和麦芽糖醇。糖醇确实在一些植物食品中天然存在,包括蘑菇,樱桃,胡萝卜,芦笋和甘薯.

糖醇为产品提供甜味,不会使血糖飙升,血糖指数低,因此对于糖尿病患者和低碳水化合物饮食的人来说,它们是理想的选择。虽然不是完全不含卡路里,但糖醇的热量远低于普通糖,而赤藓糖醇每克仅含0.2卡路里。它含有大量减少卡路里的产品,包括维生素水零度和流行的甜味剂Truvia.
你可能已经在使用它了
看看你房子和钱包周围的一些减少碳水化合物和减少卡路里的产品,你可能会发现一些糖醇。它们在20世纪90年代被广泛用于轻冰淇淋和糖果中。产品味道很好,只有一个问题 – 胃痉挛,其次是腹泻。不。乐趣。在。所有.
这是怎么回事?因为糖醇在消化系统中没有被完全吸收,所以它们在肠内发酵,引起腹胀,气体,疼痛并且经常腹泻。并非所有人都会出现这些症状,但如果您是美国5800万患有肠易激综合症(IBS)的人之一,您很可能会遇到这些问题.
它为什么这么热
如此负面的声誉,为什么赤藓糖醇会卷土重来?虽然糖醇没有得到古饮食追随者的认可,但它们血糖水平低的事实导致它们被用于针对古代社区的产品中。此外,虽然它们已被食品行业长期使用,但您以前无法在杂货店拿起一袋东西。现在,您可以在健康食品商店和网上轻松购买袋装赤藓糖醇和其他糖醇。此外,与其他糖醇相比,赤藓糖醇似乎引起更少的消化不良。更重要的是,赤藓糖醇已被牙医所接受,因为它具有预防蛀牙和减少牙齿斑块形成的能力。.

你应该试试吗??
如果您有IBS,我建议使用糖醇清除所有产品,除了可能无糖口香糖,因为一块含有少量糖。如果您正在考虑使用它来替换您经常使用的Splenda或Equal,请慢慢开始并少量开始,看看您的胃是否可以忍受它.
从你的饮食中减少糖是一个明智的想法,但我个人宁愿看到人们通过减少他们消费的甜食和含糖饮料的数量来做到这一点,而不是用其他甜味剂代替糖。有时事情真的太好了,不可能成真.

As an AI language model, I do not have a personal opinion, but I can provide a translation of the text into English:
Without a doubt, Americans love their food (and drinks) sweet. But with expanding waistlines and the prevalence of diabetes looming, we are looking for new ways to get our sweet fix without the calories or guilt. Enter erythritol. You may not have heard of it, but erythritol has slowly been making its way into our diets, recently being listed by Google as one of its top trending search terms. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that has been used by food companies for years in low-calorie foods, including candy, gum, frozen desserts, mouthwash, protein bars, and fruit spreads. What is erythritol? Despite their name, sugar alcohols contain no alcohol at all. Their chemical structure is a combination of sugar molecules and alcohol molecules, but they are not like either one. There are several sugar alcohols (also known as polyols), whose names typically end in “ol,” such as xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, and maltitol. Sugar alcohols do occur naturally in some plant foods, including mushrooms, cherries, carrots, asparagus, and sweet potatoes.
Sugar alcohols provide sweetness to products without causing blood sugar spikes, have a low glycemic index, and are therefore ideal choices for diabetics and those on low-carb diets. Although not completely calorie-free, sugar alcohols have far fewer calories than regular sugar, and erythritol contains only 0.2 calories per gram. It is found in many calorie-reducing products, including vitamin water zero and the popular sweetener Truvia.
You may already be using it. Look around your house and wallet for some low-carb and low-calorie products, and you may find some sugar alcohols. They were widely used in light ice cream and candy in the 1990s. The products taste good, with only one problem – stomach cramps, followed by diarrhea. No. Fun. At. All. Why is that? Because sugar alcohols are not fully absorbed in the digestive system, they ferment in the intestines, causing bloating, gas, pain, and often diarrhea. Not everyone experiences these symptoms, but if you are one of the 58 million Americans with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
