Abstract
Jaggery has been used traditionally in all Indian villages. It is a concentrated product of cane juice which has 50% sucrose, up to 20% invert sugars, and also contains insoluble matter, such as wood ash, proteins, and fibres, whereas granulated sugar, refers to sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. Jaggery is better option than sugar in diabetics since it reduces oxidative stress in diabetic patients. Sugar intake on long term causes dysglycemia. Constant raised sugar levels have produces central adiposity, hypertension or some elevation of blood pressure, hyperglycaemic episodes in form of glucose intolerance. Artificial sweeteners on long term usage can be possibly not favourable as they cause weight gain, hypertension. There is no corelation of any tumour production with Aspartame.
