SUGARS & SUGAR SUBSTITUTES

Sweet foods and drinks are perceived as pleasant and highly desirable by the majority of people.

甜味食品和飲料被大多數(shù)人認為是令人愉快的食品。

In evolutionary terms, this preference was a survival benefit, as it enabled carbohydrate-rich foods, such as fruit, to be identified and consumed,

providing a metabolic substrate for the brain.

從進化的角度來看，這種偏好有利于生存，因為甜味能使人們能夠識別和食用水果等富含碳水化合物的食物，并為大腦提供代謝基質。

Unfortunately, the desirability of sweet foods can lead to overconsumption of sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose) in food and drinks, which in turn can increase the risk of tooth decay, unintentional overconsumption of energy and weight gain.

但是，人們對甜食的偏愛，會導致食品和飲料中糖（葡萄糖、果糖、蔗糖、麥芽糖）的攝入過量，進而增加蛀牙、能量過剩體重增加的風險。

While carbohydrate intake is an essential component of the diet, there is no dietary requirement for sugars, as all of the glucose needed by the brain and other tissues

can come from starch.

盡管碳水化合物的攝入是飲食的重要組成部分，但糖并非膳食必需，因為大腦和其他組織所需的所有葡萄糖都可以來自淀粉。

Reducing the sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup content of the diet

is challenging if sweet foods and drinks, or products such as cakes and biscuits (in which sucrose has a functional role), are consumed, and so sugar substitutes have to be considered.

當攝入了含有蔗糖功能性成分的甜食和飲料，或者像蛋糕和餅干這樣的產(chǎn)品時，降低蔗糖或高果糖玉米糖漿，在飲食中的含量是具有挑戰(zhàn)性的。因此，不得不考慮使用糖替代品。

The replacement of sweetness can be achieved with non-nutritive sweeteners, and reports have shown the safety of these compounds.

甜味的替代可以通過非營養(yǎng)性甜味劑實現(xiàn)，有報告顯示這些化合物的安全性。

Replacing the bulk function has not yet been achieved satisfactorily.

替代體積功能目前尚未令人滿意地實現(xiàn)。
