Health Alert! White And Brown Sugar Are All The Same!

Health Alert! White And Brown Sugar Are All The Same!
09.08.2018 LISTEN

'Honey and Brown Sugar are Good; White Sugar is Bad'

Here is a big commercial gimmick and misconception. And it is a common refrain for honey marketers and patrons of brown sugar.

Honey and brown sugar may furnish you with a very small amount of antioxidants and dietary fibre, respectively. Otherwise, your body metabolizes them and any other sugar in a similar way.

In my modest years of practice, I've had many people tell me they’re following a sugar-free diet, but they’re still having honey or 'just small brown sugar'.

Fact is, they aren’t healthier than white sugar.

Let's stop villainizing white sugar and honouring honey and brown sugar and just count them all as equal — they are! When it's sugar, quantity is what really counts. Period.

FOOD IS YOUR BEST MEDICINE.
