Prof. Dr. Turhan indicated that fruits contained fructose, milk contained lactose which was unrefined simple sugars, but the sugar we used for teas, coffees, which was refined, was added to foods later, and it did not provide energy because it did not contain proteins, vitamins, and minerals together. Prof. Dr. Turhan, who pointed out that the body was not able to turn blood sugar into energy at once, said, “When the blood sugar level is above the normal limits, it will be taken to sugar reserves in muscles and liver via insulin. The body will turn the excess glucose into body fats. Therefore, we need to consume products such as jams, marmalades, honey, cakes, pies, pastries, sweets, candies, carbonated beverages, concentrated fruit juices, cookies, etc. which are called ‘empty calorie sources’ in moderation. The sugar, which is identified as poison by many scientists, needs to be consumed in considerable amounts in order to avoid its counter effects.”
