Glucose, Fructose, sucrose, … so many different types of sugar there are, but they have two things in common: they taste sweet and in the last few years, they are all in disrepute.
To my injustice, scientists at the University of Toronto now.
Because, at least in terms of the influence of a Sweet on blood pressure, sugar does not equal sugar.
High blood pressure due to sugary drinks
The data from more than 900,000 participants from different studies evaluated a Team of canadian scientists to draw conclusions about the effect of sugar on blood pressure.
A few days ago, the Team released John Sievenpiper, a physician and associate Professor at the faculty of food Sciences, the Medical faculty of the University of Toronto, then their results in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Sugary drinks had, therefore, a 10 percent increase in blood pressure (also called hypertension) result.
Fruit, 100 percent fruit juices as well as milk and whole-grain products, which also contain sugar, had, according to the scientists, even some of a hypertension preventive properties.
On Fruchzucker do without?
“It depends on the food source,” says Sievenpiper, and differentiates between unhealthy products containing sugar and also sugary, but healthy food.
“We are seeing more and more patients come into the clinic to ask whether you should avoid sugar and sometimes even superior to, fruit to omit,“ he says, uttering at the same time be concerns that, in addition to other nutrients may be lost, which will be considered in the treatment of hypertension makes sense.
In particular, the DAH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), a in his eyes, very future-oriented diet for the treatment of hypertension, focusing, among others, in addition to a lot of vegetables, dairy and whole grain products and legumes, nuts, and small amounts of meat to fruit and fruit juices.
At the same time, researchers acknowledge that the statement is rate power for the investigation relied on studies as rather low, since there is a lack so far of any meaningful long-term studies.
Final conclusions can not be made on the basis of this investigation, so, unfortunately, about how much of which sugar is recommended, in the end, for the regulation of blood pressure actually.
