subject: Dieting On Sugar Substitutes [print this page] With one in every four Americans and one in every seven people in Singapore suffering from Diabetes and Overweight, sugar substitutes have become a million dollar business. And now they can be found everywhere.
There are many ways to sweeten naturally such as pure cane, beet, honey,nectar, maple syrup, dates, barley malt, and fruit juice. All these are good for a balanced healthy diet but must be consumed in moderation. Refined sugar is still better than substitutes. But raw sugar has some nutrients that protect our teeth.
Sugar substitutes can be harmful if it is taken in more than required thereby defeats its purpose. Many overweight people do not realise this. It is amazing when you notice at coffee shops or outlets people pouring sachet after sachet into their cups. Thinking it will not hurt their diet plan. There are many unnatural products that are contributing to the rise of diabetes and obesity. You heard about Diet Coke, Less Sugar added etc ..

crackers, ketchup and many more. So you see we are overloaded with
HFCS everyday. It is banned in Europe and Canada but surprisingly not in
America.
