We all know that this sweet, white crystalline substance can cause dental caries and obesity. Obesity and diabetes have become health problems around the world: China has the world's most prevalent diabetes epidemic, with about 11% of adults suffering from diabetes; In recent years, diabetes in the United States has accounted for more than 10% of the total cost of medical treatment. There are a lot of researchers as well as a popular book "anti sugar movement" has begun to connect the people love the natural sweet sugar agent with heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and cancer daunting.
