Should you completely skip all types of sugar?

Rujuta Diwekar, a celebrity nutritionist, took to Instagram to address the issue and explained if we should skip it or not. “Yes, you should skip the sugar,” said the expert. But do we need to skip all sugars? “NO,” she added.

“The sugars which you must skip are the sugars that come from ultra-processed and packaged foods. Sugars that come from cereals, jams, biscuits, ketchup, nut butter, granola bars chocolates or cola, and sugars confectionary items,” she informed.

As per her, these sugars must be avoided. ultra-processed and packaged foods cause a lot of problems and sugar is just one of the ingredients. “If you consume sugar from these sources then you must skip it 100 per cent,” she added.

However, you should not skip sugars that come as a part of a healthy wholesome diet which includes local, seasonal and traditional diets. 

Also, you need not avoid home-prepared sweets (halwa, laddoo etc) during festive seasons and the sugar that you put in your tea, coffee, and sherbets.

Many people fear that sugar is addictive. But, what is addictive is the designer molecules present in packaged and ultra-processed foods, she said.
