WHO yalangiza kuti musagwiritse ntchito zotsekemera zopanda shuga kuti muchepetse thupi

Bungwe la World Health Organization (WHO) latulutsa malangizo omwe amalimbikitsa kuti anthu asamagwiritse ntchito zotsekemera zopanda shuga (NSS) pochepetsa thupi.

NSS ndi njira zina zochepetsera shuga m'malo mwa shuga wopanda mafuta ndipo nthawi zambiri zimagulitsidwa ngati njira yothandizira kuchepetsa thupi kapena kukhala ndi thupi labwino. Nthawi zambiri amalimbikitsidwanso ngati njira ina yochepetsera shuga m'magazi mwa anthu omwe ali ndi matenda ashuga.

Malangizo a WHO akuchokera pa zomwe zapezeka mu kafukufuku wokonzedwa bwino wa umboni womwe ukusonyeza kuti kugwiritsa ntchito NSS sikupereka phindu lililonse la nthawi yayitali pochepetsa mafuta m'thupi mwa akuluakulu kapena ana.

Zotsatira za kafukufuku mu malangizowa zikusonyeza kuti kumwa kwambiri NSS kunagwirizanitsidwa ndi kuwonjezeka kwa 23% kwa chiopsezo cha matenda a shuga a mtundu wa 2 akamwedwa mu zakumwa zotsekemera za NSS ndi kuwonjezeka kwa chiopsezo cha 34% akawonjezedwa ndi anthu ndikumwa mu chakudya ndi zakumwa.

Malangizowa akulangizanso kuti musagwiritse ntchito NSS ngati njira yochepetsera chiopsezo cha matenda osapatsirana.

Francesco Branca, mkulu wa WHO pankhani ya zakudya ndi chitetezo cha chakudya, anati: "Kusintha shuga wopanda mafuta ndi NSS sikuthandiza kuchepetsa kulemera kwa nthawi yayitali. Anthu ayenera kuganizira njira zina zochepetsera kudya shuga wopanda mafuta, monga kudya chakudya ndi shuga wachilengedwe, monga zipatso, kapena chakudya ndi zakumwa zopanda shuga."

Mankhwala odziwika bwino a NSS ndi monga saccharin, sucralose, stevia, acesulfame K, aspartame, advantame, cyclamates, neotame ndi stevia derivatives.

Iye anawonjezera kuti: "NSS si zakudya zofunika kwambiri ndipo sizipatsa thanzi. Anthu ayenera kuchepetsa kukoma kwa zakudya, kuyambira ali aang'ono, kuti akhale ndi thanzi labwino".

Malangizowa amagwira ntchito pa zotsekemera zonse zopangidwa ndi zachilengedwe kapena zosapatsa thanzi zomwe sizili m'gulu la shuga zomwe zimapezeka muzakudya ndi zakumwa zopangidwa, kapena zogulitsidwa ngati chinthu chomwe anthu amawonjezera ku zakudya ndi zakumwa. Komabe, malangizowa sagwira ntchito kwa anthu omwe ali ndi matenda a shuga omwe analipo kale.

Keith Ayoob, mlangizi wa sayansi ku Calorie Control Council, anati malangizowa sanaganizire anthu omwe ali ndi matenda ashuga komwe NSS ingakhale ndi "gawo lofunika kwambiri pakutsata zakudya zofunika".

Iye anawonjezera kuti: "Kukakamira kwa WHO kuyang'ana kwambiri pa kupewa kunenepa kwambiri komanso matenda osapatsirana ndi kolakwika kwambiri. Chisankho cha WHO chosayang'ana kwambiri kufunika kwa zotsekemera zopanda shuga kwa anthu odwala matenda a shuga chikugwirizana ndi ‎zosayenera. Kuchita kwawo zimenezi kukuchotsa phindu ndi phindu la NSS kwa anthu omwe ali ndi matenda a shuga komanso omwe ali ndi matenda a shuga asanakwane, omwe ndi oposa 10% ya anthu padziko lonse lapansi."

Malangizowa sagwira ntchito pa shuga wochepa wa ma calories ndi ma carbohydrates (polyols), omwe ndi shuga kapena zinthu zochokera ku shuga zomwe zili ndi ma calories ndipo sizimaonedwa ngati NSS.
