Key ingredients 3
Dried MangoGood
Dried mango is a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A and C. The drying process removes water but retains most nutrients, making it a nutrient-dense snack. However, it is important to consume in moderation due to its high natural sugar content.
Risks
High natural sugar content can contribute to increased calorie intake and potential blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess.
Benefits
Rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune function and skin health. Provides dietary fiber that aids in digestion.
SugarBad
Refined sugar is added to enhance sweetness but offers no nutritional benefits. It is a highly processed ingredient that can contribute to various health issues. Excessive consumption is linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Risks
High intake of refined sugar can lead to weight gain, increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and dental cavities.
Powder SugarBad
Powder sugar is finely ground refined sugar mixed with a small amount of anti-caking agent. It is used for its texture and sweetness but lacks nutritional value. Like other refined sugars, it can contribute to health issues when consumed in large amounts.
Risks
Can lead to similar health issues as regular sugar, including weight gain and increased risk of metabolic diseases.
