Diabetic Sugars

Diabetic sugars, or sugar substitutes

There are two classes of Sugar Substitutes: Non- Nutritional and Nutritional Sugars
White sugar is out of the question here because it is 50% fructose, a danger to one’s health raise one’s fat level around the pancreas leading to diabetes.

A) Non-Nutritional Sugar Substitutes(Sweeteners).

2) Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet).
3) Munk Fruit Extract (Nectresse).
4) Neotame, Saccharin (Sweet N’ Low).

Soft drinks and food bars.

Advantages of Non-Nutritional Sugar Substitutes:
-No calories
– do not spike blood sugar

Disadvantages of Non-Nutritional Sugar Substitutes 
– Sugar is replaced with chemicals
– These chemicals can raise the risk of disease such as cancer and neurological disease.
– These chemicals will raise cholesterol levels by restricting the liver’s ability to process fats.

B) Nutritional Substitutes.

Advantages
– They will increase cravings for other sweets like honey, raw sugar, and
agava nectar (plant-based, available in health food stores). These are not processed,
therefore, a better option if you, too, are concerned about chemicals.

Disadvantages
Nutritive types of sweetness have more calories; increase fat cells.

Final Result
White sugar has 50% fructose, a dangerous fat building substance leading to diabetes, overweight, and other diseases.
Non-Nutritive Substitutes are laden with disease-causing chemicals.
