Everyone is already saying that sugar is very bad and harmful. However, if you compare sugar, for example, with rice, then rice turns out to be worse. Sugar has a glycemic index of around 58. Rice, on the other hand, has a glycemic index of 70 and above. At the same time, if you consume no more than 20-30 grams of sugar, then you eat much more rice – 100 grams or more.

How to overcome aspergillus.

Aspergillus are highly pathogenic fungi that can inhabit the intestinal microflora and thrive on carbohydrates and proteins. The only thing that can suppress their growth is a diet rich in fats.

Why do warts and herpes appear, and what is the best prevention against them?

Viruses are always present in the body, but the immune system suppresses them.

The appearance of warts or herpes is the activation of viruses due to a decrease in immunity. And the best prevention is to boost immunity through proper nutrition, sleep, meditation, and regular physical activity.

Products and recipes that protect against viruses and strengthen immunity can be found on our website.

What is the danger of SIBR?

The syndrome of excessive bacterial growth is dangerous precisely because a large number of bacteria proliferate in your body, which begin to take vitamins and minerals from food. Thus, you will not receive the necessary nutrients and you will develop deficiencies.

The cheapest and most common source of antioxidants is...

Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant. It is enough to eat one or two tomatoes to get the daily norm of lycopene. Since lycopene is fat-soluble, tomatoes should be combined with olive oil or another source of fats.
Lycopene is better absorbed when cooked. Its level is higher in tomato paste. Two tablespoons of tomato paste will cover the daily norm of lycopene.

TOP for sexual health: products, vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements

Good circulation is a key factor in sexual health.
Foods that promote blood vessel dilation and increase blood flow include beets, hot peppers, cayenne pepper, and chili, as well as garlic.
Vitamins E and C, as well as B vitamins, improve circulation. They are most abundant in sunflower seeds, almonds, sea buckthorn, blackcurrants, bell peppers, parsley, turkey, dill, and chicken and beef liver.
Among minerals, potassium affects circulation. It is abundant in cornelian cherry, cocoa, and spirulina.
Zinc, selenium, and vitamin D are involved in testosterone production. They are most found in oysters, hemp and poppy seeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, as well as Brazil nuts, cod liver, fish, and hard cheese.
Herbs that enhance circulation include ginkgo biloba and ginseng.

Sugar. The glycemic index (GI) of sugar is approximately in the range of 58–65. This is because it consists of glucose and fructose in equal parts. Glucose raises blood sugar quickly. Fructose has little direct effect on glycemia but burdens the liver, as it is metabolized there.

Therefore, a small amount of sugar (20–30 g) will give a short-term spike in insulin, but is unlikely to cause disaster if a person does not consume it constantly and in large doses.

Rice. The glycemic index depends on the type:

white long-grain — about 70,
short-grain, sticky — up to 80–90,
basmati — closer to 50–55,
brown — about 50.

This means that some varieties are indeed "worse" than sugar in terms of GI. And considering that a serving of rice is usually 100–150 g of the cooked product, or even more, the glycemic load (GL) becomes significantly higher:

For sugar: 20 g × 58 ÷ 100 = ≈12.
For white rice: 100 g × 70 ÷ 100 = ≈70.

This means that rice causes a much stronger and longer-lasting spike in glucose and insulin.

But there is a difference. The difference is that rice is starch, pure chains of glucose. It completely enters the blood as glucose. Sugar, on the other hand, is a combination of glucose and fructose, and fructose "masks" glycemia, but at the same time puts a hidden burden on the liver (risk of fatty liver disease, increased triglycerides, stimulation of lipogenesis).

This means that rice in large quantities is "worse" in terms of glycemic load, but sugar in the long term is "worse" in terms of metabolic consequences, as it directly stimulates lipogenesis and fatty liver.
