Sugar is a hotly contested topic in the health world…

Is it good? Is it bad? Does it feed the brain or does it feed cancer? Can diabetics eat it or not?

This week, I’m going to address various viewpoints from the sugar or no-sugar arguments so you can come up with your own conclusion.

Annmarie and I do eat sugars and the reason why is because I’ve found science to support both sides – which leads me to believe that there is a little truth in both. This evidence means that in moderation – as cliche as it sounds – is the best way to eat natural sugars (unless you have a medical condition that advises against eating it.)

Apparently, they had to stop a clinical trial on agave nectar and diabetics because it was causing “severe side effects”.

This is big news that pokes some holes in the “it’s low glycemic, so it must be good for diabetics” theories out there.

I also answer questions about lakanto, lucuma, xylitol and allergies to stevia today!

Take a look and PASS THIS ON! :-)
