Many people want to worn at the edges of the body by eating lots of fruits and vegetables. But you also must be very clever to choose pieces if you want to lose weight, because the fruit with high sugar content can actually make you more fat.
Fruit contains natural sugar called fructose, which is also widely used to sweeten soft drinks and junk food. Scientists claim that the natural fruit sugar can be more dangerous than other types of sugar.
Research conducted at the University of California scientists also found that high fructose levels could be one of triggering an epidemic of obesity or overweight.
In tests conducted, fat people given high doses of fructose were more likely to gain weight around the abdomen rather than the participants who were given normal glucose.
In addition, despite having similar body weight, cholesterol levels of participants who were given fructose were higher when compared with participants who were given regular glucose.
"Fat in the abdominal or intra-abdominal fat is the most dangerous type and associated with diabetes and heart disease," said Dr. Peter Havel, leader of the study, as reported by Dailymail, Friday (4/2/2011).
According to him, pure fructose is mostly found in fresh fruit, fruit juice and jam. While that is often a major problem is the high fructose content of corn syrup are often added in a variety of foods to replace sugar.
"Cakes are made with fructose could be more dangerous than that made with sugar," Dr. Havel.
In a separate study, Dr. Havel's research team compared the immediate effects of eating foods that 25 percent of that energy comes from high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, or glucose.
The results, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the level of triglycerides (blood fat) after 24 hours of consuming fructose, sucrose or high fructose corn syrup are on the same high levels, but glucose showed lower yields.
However, with the results of this research experts warn that does not mean people should stop eating fruit. Not all fresh fruits contain high fructose. In spite of its fructose content, the risk is obtained comparable health benefits.
Noteworthy is fruit juice made by adding sugar to it, causing sugar levels to be higher.
Dr Samuel Oetoro, SpG.K., clinical nutritionist FKUI-RSCM, give some examples of fruits with low sugar levels, namely:
1. Avocado
2. Apple
3. Pears
4. Orange
While the fruit with high sugar levels are as follows:
1. Duren
2. Banana
3. Mango
4. Pineapple
5. Soursop
6. Jackfruit
7. Sapodilla
