Xand discovers that looks can be deceiving - a baked potato is the equivalent of a staggering 19 sugar lumps, whereas a large bowl of strawberries is only four.

    I love how throughout this entire documentary the message was 'if you eat too many carbs and all that glucose that isn't burned immediately will be stored as fat' - anyone with a basic understanding of metabolism knows that excess glucose that isn't immediately burned is stored as GLYCOGEN in your liver and muscles to be burned when needed (i.e fasting overnight) NOT immediately fat. Sure, of you eat a shit ton of carbs to the point where your glycogen stores and full then you will store it as fat, but if you eat a shit ton of any macronutrient you will store it as fat! Excess energy consumed= weight gain. Stop scaring people from eating bloody jacket potatoes and rice BBC.

      Hi. Whole-body glycogen content is approximately 600 g, a figure that varies widely based on body mass, diet, fitness, and recent exercise. So if the body does not use that already stored amount of glycogen, any excess nutrients will be converted into fat. Body likes to save energy as fat. That is how we are programmed by evolution. Thanks.

      @BatkoBrat 2 года назад +19

      Refined rice is a bit on the unhealthy side. Unrefined, whole grain or wild rice are excellent! Anything can be good or bad depending on what you do to it. Take coca leaves for example: You can chew on them or make a tea out of them and they are perfectly fine, only a very mild stimulus can happen. But when you go and ultra-process it to become cocaine, than you have something that is way more potent and detrimental to human health. It is about eating naturally occurring foods, but only in their naturally occurring state (unprocessed). That's why white rice is not as "naturally occurring" as whole grain.

      ​@@Luis_0619 The difference between the muffin and the strawberries is this: a muffin contains both starches and white sugar (sucrose, glucose and some other sugars) which convert to glucose in the blood stream - high amounts, as you can see. When you eat this, it raises both insulin and blood sugar. The strawberries contain fructose & glucose, and only a small amount of sucrose (sucrose is equivalent to the sugar cube I believe). Fructose must first go to the liver and be processed before it can be used as energy. Sucrose can be converted to glucose more quickly. All of them raise insulin and blood sugar. If you eat foods very high in fructose (fruit sugars) especially the concentrated ones like high fructose corn syrup, which is a food and drink additive, your liver will become fatty (ever heard of non-alcoholic fatty liver?) But the small amount of fructose in strawberries makes them a GOOD choice for a sweet treat compared to many other fruits or other carb foods. Muffins, being mostly made from wheat flour, contain proteins that will also damage your intestinal lining over time, which is why some people try to eat gluten free. But gluten free flours are still HIGH in carbohydrates (sugars) and will still cause your insulin and blood sugar to rise. When your insulin is high all the time, it causes an imbalance with your other hormones (think estrogen, testosterone, etc.) and many many health problems that we suffer stem from hormonal imbalances. Sugar is one of the big main culprits for many of our health problems, including mental health problems, cardiovascular disease, dementia, fertility issues, you name it - the list goes on.

      Jason Peters to an extent. The body doesn't need a shit of refined processed carbs. The body moreso needs carbs that have fiber power, and other benefits. Something that modern diets are missing quite a bit. People wonder all the time "well I've cut sugar out of my diet, so why am I not loosing weight?/ I'm diabetic and cut out sweets, why have my levels not lowered?" More than likely, they're still consuming lackluster cereals, white breads, and plain starches. What I've understood it to be, is a good diet consists of high fiber grains, that give good fats, proteins, and high fiber, and a well balanced plate. It's like eating a bagel with cream cheese, vs a whole wheat English muffin with egg, bacon, and avocado. World of difference sugar density wise.

    It’s complex carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates, some complex carbs might contain more ‘sugar’ but it’s not refined sugar (like you find in chocolate and sweets etc) and it takes the body longer to process it and gives you more energy and ‘better quality’ energy for longer. Where as simple carbs give you a short sharp burst of energy but you crash quickly. Not all sugar is bad sugar.

      Jan96106 1.3 billion asians lived off white or brown rice. Worked for them and they have the lowest rates of disease going around. Now they are starting to eat like westerners and diseases rates are starting to climb. There is nothing from with carbohydrates. Our DNA is made from sugar. Its about how much and how well our body can processes it. Dont forget the fibre like nature provided it ;)

    • @Jan96106
      @Jan96106 6 лет назад

      And for many westerners, they cannot process it. I am one of them. My blood sugar shoots up sky high when I eat white or brown rice. Some people cannot eat a lot of carbs, and the problem gets worse the older one gets. I follow a ketogenic diet. The human body can burn fat instead of glucose. Also protein converts to glucose through gluconeogenesis. A one size diet does not fit all. If one does not have a dramatic insulin response to sugar, more power to that individual. Go ahead and eat some carbs. But most westerners eat far too much sugar and far too many carbs in the form of processed food.

    I don't think the participants understand that they should estimate how much suger the starch break it's also not chemically right to show it like this since sucrose is one part glucose and one part fructose were as starch is chained clucose . The muffin has alot of sucrose and alot of starch while the rice primarily contains starch. Some research show that sucrose is bad in high amounts like the Muffin.
    Also the strawberrys had the least, that so surprising considering they have no water.

    It is important to COMPLETELY AVOID eating refined white sugar. People should NOT use it in cooking or drinks, they should NOT buy products that use it if they want to look and feel their best. Refined white sugar has been linked to almost all diseases!!! Therefore people should just NOT produce it and NOT use it at all.
    I think the UK should COMPLETELY BAN the production and use of refined white sugar in ALL of its packaged foods and from supermarkets and food shops as well as restaurants and cafes.
    Food companies making biscuits, cakes, breads and catering companies organising school meals should be asked to use ONLY unrefined, natural sugars that are not artificially coloured when making products/meals.
    White refined sugar has caused stupid amounts of tooth decay. There are too many teenagers and young people with very yellow, even black and missing teeth in the UK. It is not acceptable or good for anyone. It has also been linked to unwanted weight gain, to diabetes, to heart problems, to poor mental health.
    They should completely ban all the white refined sugar cubes and sachets in restaurants and cafes.
    Please put about ONLY UNREFINED NATURAL SUGAR THAT IS NOT ARTIFICIALLY COLOURED in SACHETS or as sugar cubes in restaurants and cafes.
    This should help improve the situation in the UK.
    Also it would be helpful if there were a teaspoon symbol with a number in it printed on each product that contains sugar. This is to show how many teaspoons of sugar are in the product in a clearer way. So a symbol showing a teaspoon with a 3.0 in it would mean that there are 3 teaspoons or sugar cubes in the product. A teaspoon with 3.5 on it would mean that there are 3 and a half teaspoons of sugar in the product.
    AND It needs to be made MUCH CLEARER to everybody that adults should have maximum 7 sugar cubes a day and that each teaspoon of sugar contains 4g of sugar. And that a can of cola has 10 sugar cubes for example, that is 3 sugar cubes over the daily recommended limit!!! Many adults in the UK drink a can of a sugary drink with their lunch, they also have a dessert, and there are lots of hidden sugars in their meals every day in the UK. They are going way over their sugar limit. They need more help with reducing their sugar intake.
    As a new year's resolution I have stopped buying and eating products that have sugar as the first/main ingredient plus I have stopped buying refined white sugar to use at home. I now use only organic unrefined natural sugar or simply fruit to sweeten foods. This has meant that I can no longer buy cakes from supermarkets or most chocolate bars and snacks. I can only have dark chocolate. It is a challenge and I have managed to stay on track. I have lost weight and feel happier and healthier and have more energy and my teeth, which were hurting a bit, do not hurt much now.

    I realised when she said “carbohydrates” regarding the strawberries the video was misleading. BBC, please make clear to the viewers that the sugar cubes include carbohydrate content as obviously that is different than raw sugar cubes. We need carbohydrates to live and thus one should worry much less about a bowl of rice than you imply in this video.

      Your body turns protein into carbohydrate through gluconeogenesis, so, factually, you don't need carbohydrates to live, and rice has a very high glycemic index, so a diabetic or a large percentage of the population with insulin resistance needs to stay away from it unless they want ot develop type 2 diabetes.And, yes, there are carbohydrates in strawberries, but her point was there were fewer in the strawberries.

  • @yellowbird5411

    It is worth noting that if you add butter, olive oil or other fat to a starch, it slows down the digestion of that food. This could be why, historically, bread has always been eaten with butter, oil or fatty meat. Perhaps it was an ancient knowledge that became a culinary custom.

    This is really an eye opener. YEs sugar is sugar, regardless where you get it from. The big difference is in the amount of sugar per volume. You can eat double the amount of strawberries than rice and you will still have consumed less sugar. Thats why its better to eat fruits and vegetables and less grains and potatoes.

    Wait. The important thing to know is the glycemic load (not the glycemic index) of food. Strawberries are definitely very low. Eat 100% whole grain breads, not white bread, and you’ll be better off. I don’t eat white potatoes, pasta, banana, juice of any kind, or rice anymore. I was pre-diabetic and completely reversed it in seven months. I eventually added sweet potatoes back into my diet, but I also eat a lean source of protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize my blood sugar.

  • @mukhtaralbahlani5273
    @mukhtaralbahlani5273 6 лет назад

    I just need to make this clear that glucose, sucrose, fructose and amylum or starch are all very different and all go through different processes to be broken down by the body. Glucose is a monosaccharide and isn't broken down any further by the body and it's utilised by the by means of insulin which opens up the cells to take it in and whatever is left is stored as muscul glycogen or liver glycogen and if that glycogen isn't used up in time for your next meal and you have enough in store then it goes in to the adipose tissue (fat), fructose is a different case it's a sweet monosaccharide that needs to go through a longer process to be broken down fructose turns in to fat right from the beginning and is usually stored around the liver giving a non alcoholic fatty liver and will need the help of beta hydroxybutyrate (ketones) to back down the fat it also is the reason for low GI foods having a slower spike in insulin production, now sucrose is the combination of the 2 sugars I just mentioned and start braking down when they come in contact with the enzymes called sucrase or asomaltase and return to their former state wich means that they the glucose part will spike the insulin production the fastest all the while opening up the adipose tissue for the fructose but this sucrose (in theory) wouldn't spike the blood sugar as much as starch in the same amount due it having fructose in it unlike starch with is a long brand glucose structure so what I'm saying is that's not quite equal eating 20 sugar cubes wouldn't results in a higher blood glucose mmol/l like a potato would because one is converted in to pure glucose and one is converted in to 2 separate monosaccharides one of which is a low GI carbohydrates that isn't process and utilised in the same way
