Shatangju tastes sweet. Can diabetics eat it?

Although small, sugar orange is a very popular fruit in winter, with sweet taste, delicate pulp and strong orange flavor. There are few kinds of fruits in winter, and sugar oranges undoubtedly occupy a certain position. Many people like to eat sugar oranges. Both Dr. Fu and Fuwa like to eat sugar oranges. But some sentences on the Internet call sugar oranges "killing oranges", which looks terrible. Why does sugar orange have such a title? Is it because sugar orange is harmful to human health? Diabetic patients have consulted this question. He thinks the sugar orange is too sweet, and the sugar content will be high. Eating sugar orange will raise blood sugar. Today, Dr. Fu will talk about this topic.

Let's talk about why sugar oranges are called "killing oranges". In recent years, sugar oranges are delicious and popular in the market, especially around the Spring Festival. In the past two years, the supply of sugar oranges is insufficient and the price is relatively expensive. Many fruit farmers see that sugar oranges are selling so well and think that the price is so expensive, and the profit of planting sugar oranges will be considerable. Therefore, fruit farmers in some southern provinces began to expand the scale of planting, especially in Guangxi, taking sugar oranges as a way to get rid of poverty and become rich, and vigorously promoting planting.

But sugar oranges are not so good. There are many sugar, oranges and fruit trees, so the tax and management requirements for fruit trees are higher. Many fruit farmers can't pass the inspection, resulting in a decline in the quality of sugar oranges. Coupled with the bee colony planting sugar oranges, the output exceeded the demand of the mayor/market, and the price of the mayor/market plummeted. There is no market for sugar oranges planted by fruit farmers, and they even rot in the ground. Therefore, many fruit farmers have lost huge economic benefits, even unable to recover their costs, and have to cut down sugar orange fruit trees and burn them with firewood. Sad fruit farmers call sugar oranges "killing oranges".

In fact, this matter really can't rely on sugar oranges. The problem lies in government guidance and the quality of fruit farmers. In fact, there is no need for government intervention in planting, and the market will naturally decide the direction. Fruit farmers lack the concept of mayor/market and tend to follow the crowd. The most important thing is cultivation techniques. Dr. Fu directly shopped on Guangdong Fruit Farmers' Internet, and the sugar oranges grown by his family were delicious. And good at marketing, direct online sales, not through wholesalers, even if the price is not expensive, but also made a lot of money.

Sugar orange is called "killer orange", not because it is harmful to health, but because it hurts the hearts of fruit farmers. So what effect does sugar orange have on health? Can diabetics eat sugar oranges? Sugar oranges taste sweet, so many people think that sugar oranges contain sugar. That's not true. The sugar content of sugar orange is about 10% to 13%, which is similar to most citrus fruits. Sugar orange is sweet because the proportion of fructose in sugar is higher, and fructose in glucose is sweeter than sugar. In addition, there are few good quality sugar, oranges and acidic substances, which are very sweet to eat.

In fact, the sugar content of sugar orange is not high, and the glycemic index is also low, so diabetics can eat sugar orange completely. Diabetic people should pay attention to the amount of fruit they eat. Don't exceed 200 grams of fruit every day. You can eat a lot of sugar oranges, and it is best to eat them in two or three times. Diabetic patients can eat not only sugar oranges, but also low-sugar fruits, such as apples, pears, plums and strawberries. In addition, the research results show that moderate intake of fruit every day by diabetic patients will not only make blood sugar out of control, but also help to lower blood sugar and reduce the use of insulin.
