MOSCOW, Jul 25 Nutritionist, member of the National Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists Natalya Kruglova told who should not abuse honey. According to the expert, people with diabetes and overweight should not get involved in this product. She noted that honey is an added sugar, which means that it is close in calories to regular sugar.
"Some people with diabetes think that honey can replace sugar, as if it is the best alternative. In fact, this is not so: it also contains calories and simple carbohydrates & # 34;, — quotes her words & # 34; Moscow 24 & # 34;.
Kruglova recommends that such people use honey in strictly limited quantities — no more teaspoon a day. It can be added to food, such as cottage cheese or porridge, where there is dietary fiber that will slow down the absorption of honey.
