This blog post has a terrible title. I read it and thought… “I already don’t hate sugar!”
But that’s not what it means of course.
It’s really about how to cut down on sugar and not go crazy doing it. It’s important for everybody, but can especially be an issue if you work at home and reach for the brownies every 5 minutes.
[N]atural sweeteners are known to help control appetite, keep insulin low, and prevent the formation of AGE products (advanced glycation end products). Stevia and erythrotol are perfect examples of this. And, unknown to most, stevia can even lower blood pressure among those who suffer from hypertension.
IF YOU HAVE TO EAT DESSERT: Insulin spiking sugars like sucrose are best consumed after a healthy fat and protein rich meal as to slow its absorption into the bloostream. This can sometimes prevent the subsequent insulin spike and “sugar crash” that many dessert eaters experience.
