Sugar-Free Sugar Or Artificial Sweeteners:  What Is Better For Health? The debate between whether it is better to consume products with sugar or based on artificial sweeteners is still present in society. According to the WHO, the consumption of sugars should not exceed 10% of the total caloric intake due to its harmful effects on health. However, for many, it is difficult to eliminate it from the diet, since it somehow generates addiction and a feeling of pleasure. The idea is to reduce your consumption little by little and opt for other  types of sweeteners that are  much healthier and that fulfill the same function.  

  Myths And Facts About Diabetes Often the false beliefs and myths about diabetes outweigh the reality and the facts. Blatant untruths circulate and are presented as proven facts. Diabetes is a chronic disease that can lead to complications serious, often fatal, including cardiovascular problems, amputations, coma, and blindness. Recently, Canadian researchers determined that the life expectancy of people with diabetes was, on average, 13 years lower than those of non-diabetics. The myths surrounding diabetes reinforce the stigma, the pain it causes, and most importantly, the misunderstanding and misdiagnosis. It is important to be aware of the facts about diabetes to distance yourself from myths and food legends. For older people, a better understanding of this disease develops the right attitude to cautiously deal with risks.
