It is noted that pectin has a positive effect on the intestinal microflora and does not affect blood sugar levels. At the same time, the expert added that cottage cheese-based sweets can be consumed in small quantities.

“In small quantities – 100-120 grams per day – you can eat sweets based on cottage cheese: cheesecake with fruit or another cake, sweet curd, even glazed. Any of these sweets will be less harmful to health than, for example, candy, because it will not contain a large amount of carbohydrates. When choosing baked goods, it is better to take pancakes with sour cream than a cake, cookies or a piece of cake with cream,” said Anastasia Lebedeva.
