Questionable saccharin
first sweetener was saccharin.
latter-day substance has an amazing quality: they were in
450 times sweeter than sugar. Saccharin remains the most popular "chemical
sugar" in the world. The only security requirement is
compliance "acceptable daily norm." For saccharin
daily dose is 5 mg per 1 kg weight of the consumer. Regular abuse of this
asles can be fraught with complications, although no one person can not
specify which ones.
I must say that saccharin had to
"feed" the majority of the adult population of the planet. Even those
people who will never replace sugar sweeteners, daily
receive a considerable amount of this substance. The fact is,
that saccharin is widely used in food industry.
One of the ingredients in ice cream, creams, gelatin desserts and other pastry
a food additive E 954. Under this
elusive and little-understood alias hiding saccharin.
In Russia the most common "saharinovym" substitute considered
"Sukrazit" Israeli firm Biscol. It is sold in packages of 300,
700 and 1200 tablets. Also, this sweetener is available as a
powder, which is very well suited to culinary experimentation.
Because saccharin is not destroyed by heat treatment, so it
can be used in confectionery or add to stewed fasit and jam
. However, the hostess should be aware that this is not a substitute
a preservative, such as regular sugar. Therefore, all
piece based on "Sukrazita" can be stored for no longer than three weeks.
other sweeteners - Sukradayet "- also in great demand
in our country. Each tablet will keep 18 mg of saccharin, and
as fillers are used citric acid and
ordinary baking soda. We should not abuse this substitute:
a cup of tea or coffee is enough of one to two tablets. If
putmorethen a drink will get quite unpleasant
bitter taste which becomesmorepronounced as
cooling.
Sweet carcinogen
second synthetic substitutes
sugar became cyclamate. Experts do not recommend the use of cyclamate
pregnant women, children and people suffering from renal insufficiency
. For everyone else there is an admissible
daily dose of the sweetener, which corresponds to 11 mg per 1 kg body weight.
Flavor
quality cyclamate is most clearly manifested in a mixture with other
substitutes, and most advantageous to their stresses saccharin. Furthermore
of cyclamate conceals that bitter taste that occurs when
"overdose" of saccharin. Optimum ratio of these two substances
is 10:1, ie 20 mg of cyclamate has 2 mg of saccharin.
This proportion is at the heart of almost all mixed sweeteners,
sold in our country.
most popular of these are
"Tsukli", "must", "Milford" and "Diamond." All of them are available in
tablet form in packs of 650 or 1200 tablets. "Milford"
sold also as a liquid: 1 teaspoon of this solution replaces
4 tablespoons sugar.
However, this synthetic syasp
have one major drawback - it is very difficult to dose. Error in
few drops can substantially affect the final taste
product. Therefore,morereliable and easier to use the pill.
Lemonade aspartame
One of the most popular sugar substitutes
is aspartame. However, experts do not deny the probable
complications associated with consumption of large doses of this substance.
Probably why it very suspicious of all
European countries, and prohibits them to adapt
sweeten food, targeting children younger than four years.
Doctors do not recommend
aspartame and adolescents, however, make exceptions to this
replacement of their diet is very difficult. The fact that aspartame
relatively well soluble in water. This property has been widely
application in food industry: it uses a substitute
now almost all the "lightweight" Lemonade. It is thanks to him
sold drinks boast a minimum content
calories. Of course, a moderate amount of this "soda" no harm
not bring. However Drink Liters
can adversely affect health "vodohleba.
This is especially tase of the
hot drinks: Elevated temperature
aspartame breaks down to release methanol, which is pretty
aggressive chemical. So all sorts of abuse
"lights" are not very reasonable. Lemonade labels on aspartame
usually masked by the acronym E951. For a healthy adult is defined
tolerable daily intake of aspartame, which is equal to 30 mg per kilogram of body weight
.
most often blended with aspartame acesulfame K,
which refers to "young" generation of sweeteners. It is believed that
flavor profile of this tandem is as close to natural sugar
: Acesulfame K is responsible for "an immediate sweetness, and aspartame
provides long aftertaste. It is therefore a mixture of these substances
underlies most industrial analogues of sugar.
Most famous of them are considered "NutraSweet", "Sweet time", "Candelel" and
Korean "Miwon". All of them are sold in tablet form to 300
and 600 tablets.
harmless sucralose
safest substitute is
sucralose. This is the only "artificial sugars, which escaped
charges carcinogenicity. Experts say that taking it
safe not only for the usual contingent, but also for pregnant women and children
younger age group. The maximum daily dose
is 5 mg per 1 kg weight. But almost no use of sucralose in
food industry and the relatively rare on the shelves
Russian pharmacies. The fact is that today the replacement
is the most expensive on the Russian market and therefore does not stand
competition with cheaper sugar analogs.
Useful fasctose
Many prefer replace sugar
synthetic dasgs and natural fasctose. However, those who
doing this on purpose to lose weight, greatly mistaken: the fact that the
caloric substance was not inferior to ordinary sugar. But he
there are plenty of other advantages.
For example, fasctose can be incorporated into
diet of diabetics, since its uptake does not require insulin. She
by 20-30% reduces the risk of dental caries and inflammatory processes in
mouth. In addition, fasctose is an indispensable sweetener
for those children who suffer from intolerance to sugar. That
why it so often is part of the various types of child
supply.
Keep in mind!
Overdose of any substance can harm
health. That is why it is so important to follow the asles, "permitted
RDA. Buy only those dasgs on the label which
the type of sweetener, and its weight. This precaution allows
accurately calculate a safe amount of sugar substitute. Control over
powders and ready-made syasps rather problematic. Therefore, experts advise
prefer the tablet form
sweeteners because they provide the most accurate accounting
sweet milligrams.
