Cutting sugar out of diet totally could kill: experts warn
With the UN warning sugar could be ‘the new tobacco’ because of its risks to health through obesity, you might think a diet that cuts it out would get the thumbs up from experts, The Daily Mail reported.
But a group of scientists has just consigned a trendy sugar-free anti-ageing plan to a list of fad diets it dismisses as a waste of time and money, and potentially dangerous.
While dieters can forgo sugar in yoghurt, ready meals, dessert and biscuits, for example, having none at all is almost impossible.
The sugar-free diet was one of five assessed by dieticians, biochemists and other experts for the charity Sense About Science.
