Manufacturers of sugar-free yogurt and called the real meaning of diabetes on the need to "sugar free" is different. Because yogurt is milk as raw material, dominated by microbial fermentation, itself contains a lot of lactose, and lactose in the fermentation process which, in part by the use of micro-organisms, into lactic acid and other metabolites.
Because of unstable blood sugar in diabetic people, the freedom to drink a bottle of yogurt is a luxury. Target market, businesses have launched a sugar-free yogurt, no sugar or of thought been fooled.
Nanjing Li has over twelve years of diabetes, usually his own special attention to diet and lifestyle, so sick for so long since he had it under control blood sugar. But recently, Lee has found that, since drinking a dairy production in Nanjing Yamada, sugar-free yogurt brand high calcium, the blood glucose began to rise up and unstable.
According to the company service department, a responsible person, Yamada licensing sugar-free yogurt with calcium is not ordinary sugar, but aspartame, aspartame in the metabolic process will not impact on blood sugar.
Endocrinology, 305 Hospital of PLA chief physician Zhu Kaisi said: "Aspartame is the rise of a new sweetener, which is mainly composed of two amino acids, we call it vulgar protein sugar, aspartame intake of the human body after through the normal metabolism of the body, broken down into two amino acids, amino acids into the amino acids the body circulation, metabolized can be said is safe for diabetics. "
Since metabolized by the body, why people with diabetes can also cause fluctuations in blood sugar it?
Zhu Kaisi doctors believe that the alleged manufacturers of sugar-free yogurt and diabetic patients need in the true sense of the "sugar free" is different. Because yogurt is milk as raw material, dominated by microbial fermentation, itself contains a lot of lactose, and lactose in the fermentation process which, in part by the use of micro-organisms, into lactic acid and other metabolites, as well as part of the lactose will residue, strictly speaking, this is the real sugar-free yogurt is not yogurt, it will affect blood sugar in people with diabetes.
