Sweets that don't ruin your figure

Your friends call you a sweet tooth because sweets, chocolate, and cakes are your fetish. And although you know from an early age that eating a lot of sweets is harmful, it is still difficult to deny yourself. Necessity or “white death”? Read on about the benefits and harms of sweets.
Carbohydrates are a source of energy in their pure form, which is why our body needs them so much. But if their quantity significantly exceeds the body's energy needs, they begin to turn into fat. It is a well-known fact that glucose is a real fuel for mental activity, but the body is not able to recognize harmful carbohydrates found in confectionery and candies. Therefore, a love of sweets and a passive lifestyle lead to excess weight and health problems. Then a variety of sugar substitutes are used, which contain a low amount of calories and remain sweet in taste. American studies have proven that such an alternative can cause serious diseases, including cancer. Instead, nutritionists advise accustoming yourself to healthy carbohydrates.
