Be careful about diabetic or light artifacts. There are expressions ‘sugar free’, ‘reduced sugar’, ‘no added sugar’ or ‘no added sugar’ on the packaging of some foods. The presence of these phrases does not mean that that food is a healthy food or that it can be freely consumed. The ‘Ingredient’ section on the food label should definitely be read. Information such as the amount of fat in the food, the type of fat and the measure of salt are also valuable. Some ‘sugar-free’ or ‘reduced-sugar’ foods may contain too much saturated fat, which can lead to impaired heart health.
Dietary artifacts are not artifacts that can contribute to adequate and stable nutrition; these artifacts may also contain more fat and potency than their non-diet counterparts. For this reason, the nutritional label information of ‘diabetic/light products’ should be read and the label information should be compared with similar ‘diabetic/non-light’ products. Although its consumption is not necessary, it should not be consumed without consulting a dietitian, as the issue of how much to consume will vary according to personal differences.
What is the difference between Diabetic and Light works?
In general, light and diabetic products are mixed in society, and diabetic products are thought to have fewer calories because they are sugar-free.
Some foods have the words “no sugar”, “reduced sugar”, “no added sugar” or “no added sugar” on their packaging. The ingredients on the food label must be read. It should be checked whether there are additives from sugar and sugar cluster in diabetic works. Information such as the amount of fat in the food, the type of fat, and the measure of salt are valuable.
Comparison of Diabetic Artifacts with Ordinary Sugary Artifacts
Diabetic Products
When the products sold in the market under the name of diabetic / dietetic works are compared with ordinary sugary foods, it is clearly seen that there is not much difference in terms of power, and that the fat content is behind the eyes in some works.
In addition, even if it does not directly increase the blood sugar in the individual, it will negatively affect the person indirectly.
From this point of view, it is valuable to convey the label information of the diabetic / dietetic products desired to be used to the consumers and it is necessary to get help from dietitians in this regard.
Light Products
Compared to the Turkish food codex, a reduction of at least 30% should be achieved in the energy-nutritional element measure, compared to an exemplary work. The only valuable bet that needs to be taken into account is that it is considered to be calorie-free and consumed too much, as a result of which the total calories taken will increase, it may be the subject of weight gain.
Light products reduce the total calorie intake and encourage the person to eat less by giving a feeling of satiety thanks to the fiber content.
The calorie measure of wholemeal bread and ordinary bread is quickly almost identical. Only wholemeal bread is more satisfying.
Calorie-free: The power cost in 1 serving should not be more than 4 kcal.
Low-calorie: The cost of power in 100 g of solid food should not be more than 40 kcal.
Sugar Free: These are products that do not contain table sugar.
Low-fat: The amount of fat in 100 g of food should not be more than 3 g.
Extra fat-free: The amount of fat in 100 g/ml food should not be more than 0.5 g.
Therefore, the size and frequency of diet products should be adjusted by the dietitian in accordance with the diet of the person.
