 Precautions when consuming garlic, which has 3 times more sugar than Coke

Spicy food is basically known to be useful for dieting. Capsaicin in spicy food raises the body temperature, and when the body temperature rises, the metabolism is activated, which helps in weight loss. In addition, in the case of spicy food, it consumes about 8% more calories to digest, and it makes you feel full easily, so you eat less food.

However, there is something that many people who choose spicy food as a diet food overlook, and that is 'sugar'. Spicy foods that contain capsaicin are often also high in sugar. Even spicy foods should be checked for sugar, as the pungent sting of capsaicin can fool your taste buds as if it doesn't taste sweet.

Garlic is one of the most sought after by those who want to lose weight with spicy food. You can make and eat garlic slices or use minced garlic. However, garlic has three times the sugar content of apples. The spicy taste that pierces the nose just hides the sweetness. This is why the spicy taste disappears when you eat garlic and only the sweet taste remains. Sugar is a carbohydrate component and is the main enemy of the diet.

The sugar content of garlic is 30 Brix, which means that 30g out of 100g is sugar. Bananas are 23.5 Brix, Coke is 10.6 Brix, and garlic is almost three times sweeter than Coke. Of course, garlic's capsaicin also causes a diet effect. However, in this case, it is assumed that it is difficult to consume a large amount of garlic due to the spicy taste of raw garlic. If you consume a lot of sweet roasted garlic, it will become an enemy to your diet, so overeating is not recommended. Diet should be carried out with proper garlic intake.
