A Safer Sweetener-That Is Really Awesome
By Bryon Zirker
When working on the behavior of guarding your health
among many things sugar and artificial sweeteners are
out. But wait, due to some all-natural sweeteners like
erythritol, stevia, and agave nectar - you can still satisfy
that sweet tooth of yours without sabotaging your health.
So here is another great one to try...Coconut sugar.
Coconut sugar is made from the evaporated sap of the
coconut flower, coconut sugar tastes very much like
brown sugar. Unlike sugar's high 60-65 score on the
glycemic index, coconut sugar ranks well at a nice
low 35. To add more, coconut sugar is much denser in
minerals, such as potassium and magnesium.
Keep this in mind, coconut sugar does, in fact, still
contain "sugars," so the best way to use it is in
combination with erythritol and or stevia. It produces
a nice lite caramel-like flavor that can be added to
your favorite and healthy home-baked goodies.
Note: Sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, Splenda,
aspartame...There are so many sweeteners are bad
for you, it's nice to know you can still treat your
sweet tooth with good healthy alternatives.
