You know it is a good day when you read that a sugar
compound in a favorite Mexican drink has been proven to help with weight loss,
and that butter is not so bad after all. Forbes Living TV shares the good
health news.
A sugar found in tequila has been proven to help weight loss
and reduce the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Agavins, a natural form of sugar found in the agave plant, are
the only natural carbohydrates used to produce tequila. It is the perfect sweetener because it is both
non-digestible and acts as a dietary fiber, so it won't raise blood glucose
levels, and could lower it too.
Forbes Living
learns that butter is not as bad for us we suspect. New research indicates that
a diet high in polyunsaturated fats and low in saturated fats might not make
such a big difference to cardiovascular health after all. When the researchers looked at the intake
of both kinds of fats, they found no significant improvement in terms of cardiovascular
risk.
Anything we eat
or drink in excess is bad for our health. As we have learned over and over
again, it is not that bad if taken in moderate amounts. So have a little butter
on your toast and enjoy a margarita every now and then. Neither is bad for us
as long as we take it easy.
