The expert listed the advantages of honey in comparison with sugar
Honey and sugar are almost identical in their benefits, since both are fast carbohydrates. However, honey has a slight advantage due to the presence of pollen particles in its composition. This was announced on October 14 by Gazeta.Ru" Andrey Kondrakhin, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Pharmacology at the Institute of Pharmacy and Medicinal Chemistry at Pirogov University.
According to the doctor, honey is useful for the pollen of various plants contained in it, which makes it somewhat more useful than ordinary sugar. He noted that the product does contain useful plant substances, but their concentration cannot be compared, for example, with medicinal forms such as tablets or potions.
The specialist explained that regular consumption of honey, especially with certain plant properties, can have a positive effect. However, it is important to remember that honey is, first of all, sugar, which causes a sharp jump in the glycemic index, so it should not be abused.
"Honey is not a panacea. It does not treat serious illnesses. Therefore, we use it mainly for prevention, not for treatment. Moreover, we should try to avoid excessive consumption of it, because if used unreasonably, this can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels, which significantly blocks all its beneficial properties," the doctor concluded.
Earlier, on October 13, nutritionist Elena Solomatina warned about the dangers of citrus fruits for some people. The specialist noted that it is important to remember the golden rule of medicine.: The toxicity of any substance, even the most useful one, is determined by its dose.
