在過(guò)去很長(zhǎng)的一段時(shí)間里，人們都認(rèn)為吃糖是引起肥胖、多動(dòng)、糖尿病、心腦血管疾病等的萬(wàn)惡之源，這使得很多人愛(ài)吃糖又不敢吃，或者選擇添加人工甜味劑的無(wú)糖飲料。事實(shí)上，糖并不像你想的那么有害，今天我們就來(lái)給糖“洗刷冤屈”。

While eating too much sugar is directly associated with obesity and a host of heart and liver-related problems, there are plenty of myths out there with a host of misinformation that oftentimes makes eating even moderate amounts of sugar sound worse than it is. After all, we do need sugar to live.
盡管吃糖太多和肥胖以及一系列心臟和肝臟疾病直接相關(guān)，但關(guān)于糖還是有很多訛傳，往往使得適量吃糖聽(tīng)上去比實(shí)際上更糟。說(shuō)到底，沒(méi)有糖怎么活？

"We all need sugar — it's the basic building block of what runs our bodies, and, in fact, it's necessary," Dr. Jennifer Haythe, a cardiologist at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York said.
“我們都需要糖——它是我們身體運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的基本組成部分，事實(shí)上，是必不可少的部分，”紐約哥倫比亞長(zhǎng)老會(huì)醫(yī)院的心臟病科醫(yī)師珍妮佛?海耶斯博士說(shuō)。

海耶斯博士說(shuō)：“有人認(rèn)為，世界上有不同種類的糖，這是一個(gè)誤解。紅糖、白糖、蜂蜜……最終成分都是同一種東西——葡萄糖。各種形式的糖都是可分解成葡萄糖被吸收的碳水化合物。”
