Candies = Sugar ?

糖果 = 白糖嗎?

這個問題困擾了很多人,也讓很多人聞糖果色變。

糖果真的這麼糟糕嗎?

這就必須要搞清楚一個最基本的問題:糖果,到底是用什麼做的?

“肯定是糖啊,要不然怎麼叫糖果呢!” 你可能會說。

其實,不一定噢!

因為,同一種糖果是可以由很多種不同種原料來製作的。 如果你的糖果里有各種營養豐富的好東西,那這塊糖就是一塊好糖,因為它給你提供的營養,遠不止白糖這麼簡單。 但是如果你的糖果里除了白糖,就是人工香精和色素,那它肯定對人體來說就沒有太多的價值了。

所以,關鍵就是看你用什麼東西來做這個糖果。 種瓜得瓜,種豆得豆。 天下萬物,皆同此理。

所以,認真瞭解一下你的糖果的成份是什麼,它到底是用什麼做的,很重要!

所以,你應該明白:糖果 ≠ 白糖。

現在你應該能做出精明的選擇了吧?

 

Is candies = sugar?

This question makes us confused. A lot of people thus quite worry about having candies.

Are candies that bad?

To make it clear, you must be able to answer a fundamental question: What is the candy made of?

“Sugar, of course. That’s why they’re called candies.” You may answer.

No, not necessarily.

That’s because candies can be made with a lot of different ingredients, even though they’re of the same kind. If you put a lot of good stuff into that candy, that’s a good candy. That’s because it can provide you with much more nutrition than that of sugar. However, if you just put sugar and artificial colours and flavours into it, you won’t get out much other than what you’ve put in. The key is what you use to make that candy. You reap what you sow. That’s the rule applies to everything.

Therefore, clearly understand what the ingredients are and what your candies are made of. That’s very important.

Now you should know candies ≠ sugar.

Now you should be able to make a smart choice.

This Is A Choice.

你知道嗎?

同一種糖果,是可以用許多不同的材料製成的。 從很天然到很化學的,都行。

那區別在哪裡呢?

除了裡面所真正含有的營養素不同以外,你能明顯感到的,就是味道和氣味的不同。

天然材料製成的糖果,味道總不會是濃烈和分明的。 相反,天然的食材,哪怕用量很大,最終製成糖果的味道也只是淡淡的。 但是這是一種很令人喜愛的味道,淡雅而悠遠。 回味也很清爽,不會有人工香精的那種油膩和揮之不去的化學氣味。

當然,比起人工香精和人工色素,天然食材造出的東西沒有鮮亮的外表,沒有三尺以外就能使人垂涎欲滴的濃烈香氣。

所以,挑選糖果其實和挑選老婆很像:選個外表香豔迷人,但內裡空虛的;還是選個外表樸素,但有思想、有內涵的?

各人的選擇不同。 你呢?

Do you know you can make the same candy with very different ingredients? Those ingredients may vary from very natural to highly synthetic.

Then what will be the difference?

The main differences you’ll definitely notice are the taste and the flavour. There are also real differences in something invisible. That’s, the actual nutrients inside.

The flavour of the candies made of natural ingredients is never strong or distinct. Instead, however large amount of the ingredients you may use, the flavour is usually just mild and subtle. But that’s a lovely flavour, simple, elegant and deep. You’ll have a light, nice aftertaste too. That’s very different from the cloying, oily and clinging aftertastes from artificial flavourings.

Of course, the weakness is obvious. Natural ingredients won’t bring in a bright, appealing appearance, or a strong, attractive flavour that tickles your taste buds, as compared with artificial flavourings and artificial colours.

So you see, it’s quite agreeable to compare the way you pick candies to the way you pick a wife. Will you choose someone that’s luring on the outside but empty on the inside or, someone that’s plaint on the outside but virtuous and strong on the inside?

Different people have difference answers. What’ll be yours?
