I don’t know that since what, everyone has also begun to treat moon cakes cautiously. The biggest problem with moon cakes lies in their high sugar and fat content. Moon cakes have less water and more oil and sugar. And oil and sugar are such things that have very high calories. One gram of sugar or starch has 4 kilocalories. One gram of fat has 9 kilocalories. Not to mention young people who need bodybuilding, for old friends with chronic diseases, especially diabetes, these calories are severe tests of body functions. So, aren’t there various [healthy moon cakes] introduced by businesses now, such as sugar-free moon cakes and health-care moon cakes, etc. Are these healthy moon cakes really healthier?

It claims to have no sugar and will not raise blood sugar, which is a blessing for diabetics. Is it true? In fact, [sugar-free moon cakes] just have no sucrose, From a technical point of view, It is actually an unqualified claim, It also raises blood sugar, Diabetics also can’t eat more. 2. Starch is also sugar. Sugar is actually the common name of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates include not only sucrose, which we usually eat, It also includes starch, flour and other polysaccharides.

Moon cakes are mainly made of flour. Even if no sucrose is added to it, its main component is carbohydrate such as starch, which is also a source of carbohydrate and is difficult to meet the national standard of sugar-free food. Thus, [sugar-free moon cake] is not [sugar-free] in the true sense. 3. [invisible sugar] have you ever paid attention to it? In fact, businesses claim that sugar-free mostly just does not use sucrose, but uses sweeteners, such as xylitol, etc., but it does not mean that there is no sugar at all.

In addition, Adding animal raw materials such as abalone and shark’s fin will also increase safety risks because they are more likely to breed bacteria. 3.
