Does Sugar-Free Always Mean Healthier?
If you said yes, you may be wrong. In a lot of cases, sugar is substituted with alternatives that are just as bad or worse for you. Some of those artificial alternatives are: aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame K. You can find those in a lot of beverages and desserts that are listed as ‘sugar-free’. Natural Sweeteners, which are better than refined and artificial sweeteners, are: honey, molasses, maple syrup, and fruit juices & nectars.
“… refined, concentrated sugar consumed in large amounts rapidly increases blood glucose and insulin levels, increases triglycerides, inflammatory mediators and oxygen radicals, and with them, the risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses,” – Dr. Ludwig
