Sugar

Our main sources of energy are carbohydrates and fats. The most common carbohydrates in terms of quantity are starch in cereals and potatoes and household sugar. Too many carbohydrates lead to a constant production of the hormone insulin in the pancreas. One of the consequences of this is that the breakdown of body fat is strongly inhibited. And over time, the risk of various diseases of civilisation such as diabetes or fatty liver also increases. Less sugar is a sensible thing to do for many of us. Chief® products contain no added sugar. Only the milk and whey ingredients used and the processed fruits contain small amounts of their natural sugar.
