A

nswer (Part I of 2): Dear
Torn, You may (depending
on your age) remember
that song that goes, "Sugar in the
morning, sugar in the evening,
sugar at suppertime ... ." Well, it's
a cute song, but not very good nu-
tritional advice. Let me explain.

There are two general
, types of sugars in our diet:
(1) Naturally occurring
(e.g., lactose in milk and
;-(/
fructose in fruit), and (2)
Added (e.g., table sugar
I IS
kt
) alkla sucrose and high
) . fructose corn syrup,
a common food-
sweetenertadditive). Our
`c,
bodies convert these
\
simple carbohydrates and
\
other, more nutrient-dense
(complex) carbohydrates
into blood sugar (glucose), which
is burned by the body for energy.

Excessive intake of refined (added)
sugars and other calorically dense,
but nutrient-lacking carbohydrates,
has been blamed for a host of
health problems ranging from
mood disorders to weight gain to
diabetes. Does this mean we're
doomed to a lile without sweet-
tasting foods? No, but it does
mean that we're entering the very
confusing world of substitute
sweeteners, which I'll discuss in
some depth next time.
