They are made from sugar, corn syrup, and some flavourings. Hard lollies are loaded with simple sugars like glucose and sucrose. Some varieties have fructose and maltose syrup added as sweeteners. Since hard lollies are made entirely from sugar, they do lead to a spike in glucose levels.<\/p>\n<p>Control your sugar spikes from candies<br \/>\n\u2022 You may opt for sugar-free candies or those with sugar substitutes like aspartame or stevia as sweeteners.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u2022 Practice portion control by having 1-2 candies, as it is possible to overindulge due to their small size and sweetness.<br \/>\n\u2022 Consider keeping lollies with processed chocolates at bay. The sugar content is much higher in them as they have additional sweeteners.<\/p>\n<p>Eating excess sugar and carbs causes a surge in insulin. This leads to a rapid drop in sugar levels after a while, known as the &#8216;sugar crash&#8217;. Hard lollies are heavy in sugar and carbs \u2014on average, a small piece of candy has 4g of carbs. Hence, it&#8217;s no wonder that these can cause hyperglycemia.\u00a0Therefore, it is crucial to optimise your consumption of hard lollies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
