Sugar: Lurking Killer
Understanding the damage of a high glycaemic index diet is a very simple task. Just imagine
enjoying a good dessert during one of the many periods of physical inactivity typical of nowadays
life. A surge of glucose is quickly absorbed by the digestive system and transferred into the
bloodstream. This phenomenon, repeated over time, creates an infinity of biological damages.
Let's find out the most important:
Biological damage
In the intestine, sugar causes gas production, abdominal tension, alteration of the microbiota
(bacterial flora), colitis, constipation, diarrhea. Sugar also acts on the nervous system and
metabolism, giving both stimulation peaks and subsequent vertiginous relapses with alternating
states of irritability/euphoria and a continuous need to assimilate other quantities of sugar.
Damage to the nervous system
A number of studies show that people with type 2 diabetes have about double the incidence of
Alzheimer's. A research (from the Swedish Karolinska Institute) shows a correlation between
border line diabetes (i.e. high blood sugar levels) and a 70% higher risk of developing Alzheimer.
The Functional Sweetener
Our products are able to counteract the harmful effects of a diet rich in sugar.
At Swiss Nutraline we focused on the development and production of beneficial sugar substitutes produced with ingredients having high nutritional impact. To achieve this goal, we coined the revolutionary concept of "Functional Sweetener"

Functional Sweeteners:
In Harmony with ketogenic diets
Replacing sugar with a low-glycaemic, low-calories sweetener offers many metabolic benefits.
Regularly taking a beneficial sweetener with these characteristics plays a crucial role in keeping
healthy our body and our nervous system. An effective reduction of sugar in the daily diet induces
the body to effectively use the lipid reserves and ketone bodies for cellular energy production.
This happens very effectively when the availability of carbohydrates coming from diet is reduced.
This condition leads the body to develop one of the main mechanisms capable of protecting the
brain from the aging process: ketosis.
More and more scientific evidences indicate that the ketogenic diet, originally created as a weight
loss process, is also proving to be an excellent ally for brain health and longevity. This is because
many neurological diseases show, with increasing evidence, an alteration of normal energy
metabolism as a common denominator and this is precisely a key point for those working in the
nutritional field.
