A Personal Story
Believe it or not, when I was young, I did not have much of an inclination towards sweets or desserts.................and I've always favored savory - especially spicy food! But I enjoyed the occasional mint or peppermint.. And at one time, in my late 20's I was introduced to Tic-Tacs (a very small packet of tiny sweets with concentrated sugar that came in 3 different flavors).
As I said, I liked peppermint, and the taste was so refreshing.....I kept having more.... and next thing, I went from 1 or 2 packets to 8 packets a day! And honestly, if I was out of them, I would have to go out and get some - even if this meant going out at night, low on fuel, whatever and find a shop I had not run out of them! I actually did get very ill, physically after a few months! So Sugar is no friend, believe me!
"If one could add up all those
dollars spent on sweets and more sweets!"
Sugar Toxicity - What does it do? Let's be Smarter - Dr Eric Berg
Let's take a Sugar Quiz. Let's check our Shopping Lists and Trolleys. How many Sugar Products do you have in your cupboards? Avoiding the pitfalls of Sugar in our Diet....Wise Mothers.
Everyone has a weakness usually. Mine these days is Crystalized Ginger - nice and spicy! When I get some occasionally, I go for a small packet with the least sugar, dust them off as much as I can and ration them by placing the packet out of reach - in a spot that's inconvenient to get to. This usually works because it can remind you of a decision you've made "health before taste" whatever. My friend, if that is not possible, you could well have an addiction. Please try to get some help before it breaks your pocket or breaks your health!
I WILL ADD A PAGE ON BREAKING HABITS SOON, SO YOU CAN FIND WAYS OF BEING KIND TO YOURSELF. AND IT WON'T BE JUST FOR THOSE WHO ARE ADDICTED IN SOME WAY. I THINK WE COULD ALL BENEFIT FROM SUCH INFORMATION AND WE WOULD LIKE OURSELVES BETTER. FRIENDS, YOU WOULD FEEL GREAT AFTERWARDS FOR HAVING ACHIEVED SOMETHING.
SOLUTIONS:
​
Genuine MAPLE SYRUP is a really great Natural Sugar Replacement to use. It actually benefits Your Health instead of deficiting it. Contains Numerous Antioxidants in Contrast to Can Sugar and Agave which are Negligible; Has a Lower Score on the Glycemic Index which is Beneficial to Health; A Good Alternative For Improved Digestion; Contains Zinc and Manganese in fairly high amounts, which is Exceptional; It's Immune Boosting, full of Polyphenols; AND It serves as a Prebiotic and Probiotic which are Vital for Gut Health (it benefits our Microbiome) our Overall Health depends on!
​
And of-course, an 'unprocessed' Natural RAW HONEY is much to be preferred to sugar and synthetic sugars OR Sugar Alcohols. Honey is much better for your health - in moderation. It is Uniquely Nutritious - teaming with life - packed with Antioxidants and Enzymes, even Probiotics. TRUE RAW HONEY is actually endowed with Therapeutic, Medicinal properties that can mean all the difference to the Health of so many people who buy this Honey, in different ways. I've researched Honey many times through the years, and never fail to be amazed at the additional information I uncover and wonderful stories I hear.
​
DATES are also Good but be Sparing because even Natural Sugar and Fructose Content is Not Good for You if you do not keep it to a Minimum. They tax our Pancreas and make Fat Cells bigger. But Synthetic Sugars are positively evil and Alcohol Sugars are not the "Angels" they're made out to be. Agave is Loaded with Fructose! Dates offer a significant amount of fiber and variety of vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, B vitamins, copper, and magnesium (1, 2). Dates are Very Nutritious and are known to confer these benefits: They can act against Free Radicals impressively; Support healthy digestion; High in antioxidants against health maladies; May promote brain health; Good for Heart Health and Electrolytes.
RAW HONEY IS GOOD AND SO IS MAPLE SYRUP. MAKE SURE THE HONEY IS RAW (not heat processed) AND THAT THE MAPLE SYRUP IS GENUINE (not the cheap one in a plastic container, it's Fake). IF THESE PRODUCTS ARE GENUINE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU - IN MODERATION. SO DO NOT EVEN HAVE MAPLE OR HONEY IN EXCESS!!! BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MEANT TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF SUGAR OR FRUIT SUGAR IN EXCESS - OUR BODY IS NOT REALLY EQUIPPED TO HANDLE IT.
​
The truth about AGAVE is that most of it is Boiled Syrup devoid of Nutrients and Very High in Fructose, which does your Body NO Favors! But I have real doubts that MONK FRUIT is the way to go, like I did with Erythritol when they said it was safe. Monk Fruit also acts as a Sugar Alcohol and they have been proven to affect our Health adversely over time. They also actually known to create False Appetite because it stops a mechanism which switches off Appetite when we've had enough, so they're not such a boon to Dieters after all.
BEWARE OF ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS WITH THEIR MARKETING GUISES LIKE ASPARTAME, NUTRASWEET, BALANCE, SPLENDA, EQUAL etc ...and it's ALL for big-profits...they don't care about your health! Even XYLIYOL is now found to have nasty Side Effects, according to Dr Josh Axe and other leading Natural Health Advocates!
​
NOTE: Please make sure that you don't fall for the Stevia Trick or Erythritol, as Recent Research has revealed certain damages to Health that are Very Concerning. Even Xylitol is added to that list because it is Synthetically Produced now. Criminal Manufacturers!
​
IN CONCLUSION: I will say that Genuine Maple Syrup, True Raw Honey, Dates; Fresh or Frozen Fruits with their protective Fibre Content are OUR SAFEST OPTIONS. And if you like Jam, go for 100% Fruit Spreads instead which are Naturally sweetened with Pear Juice or Grape Juice instead of Sugar. Also important to mention here is, Fruit Juice is super rich in Fructose, and often Pasturized for long shelf-life which means it's had all the goodness knocked out of it. I have even heard reports that Oranges that are Months Old are used, which is why it tastes so awful often. It's better to have a glass of Fresh Orange Juice Homemade. You can also make delicious Fruit Smoothies with an Apple and some Frozen Cherries and/or Berries from your Supermarket. It's Delicious AND Nutritional. I do like to encourage rather than discourage.
That's it Folks!
