Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Sweeteners are a sugar substitute widely used in our time for the ability to sweeten foods or beverages under the concept of not providing calories, for which their consumption is increasing in recent years. This same capacity that presumes not to provide calories is what has led patients with chronic degenerative diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, to find a sweet source and thus stop consuming table sugar entirely. Glucose measurement tests, by Glucose-oxidase, enzymatic method and conventional spectrophotometer, were carried out in different samples of natural and artificial sweeteners of greater consumption. Natural sugar: honey, 255mg/dL, maple syrup, 238 mg/dL and table sugar, 315 mg/dL, , have very high glucose values, sweeteners have concentrations: sucralose, 281 mg/dL, stevia, 60 mg/dL, aspartame, 0 mg/dL. The sweeteners that have glycosidic bonds and of greater time of storage in handbags were positive to the test of glucose-oxidase, similar to that present in honey and table sugar. The aim to verify if consuming this type of sweetener is beneficial for the patient, or on the contrary, consumption directly influences the development of the disease.
