Many brands use sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or even high fructose corn syrup to enhance the flavor and texture of granola. The problem is that these added sugars may spike your blood sugar levels quickly, causing a rollercoaster effect in your body. Initially, you get a burst of energy, but as your blood sugar drops, you’re left feeling tired, hungry, and craving more sugary foods. Fruit Juice While it comes from fruit, juice is often packed with sugars that hit your bloodstream fast, especially since the fiber found in whole fruit is removed during juicing. Fiber normally slows down the absorption of sugar, helping your body process it gradually. But without it, drinking juice floods your system with a high dose of sugar all at once. Over time, this rollercoaster effect may contribute to insulin resistance, making it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar and increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Agave Syrup Agave syrup has been marketed as a healthier alternative to regular sugar and other sweeteners, especially because it has a low glycemic index. But one of the biggest issues with agave syrup is its extremely high fructose content. The body processes fructose differently than glucose, and when you consume large amounts of it—like what you get from agave syrup—your liver has to do all the work. Over time, this may lead to the liver converting that excess fructose into fat, which may build up and contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The more fructose you consume, the harder your liver has to work, and this may eventually lead to other health issues like insulin resistance and increased risk of metabolic disorders. Gluten-Free Packaged Snacks Gluten-free packaged snacks have become incredibly popular, often seen as healthier options by people who believe gluten-free automatically means good for you. But they’re often made with refined starches like rice flour, potato starch, or tapioca starch. These ingredients replace the wheat found in regular snacks, but they don’t offer much in terms of nutrition. Refined starches are quickly broken down into sugar by the body, leading to rapid blood sugar spikes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to Bestie : https://goo.gl/tUqro6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestieinc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestiehealth/
