Do something great for yourself. REMOVE white sugar from your life. There is nothing healthy about white, refined sugar. The only thing it offers is empty calories which contribute to weight gain, addiction, an increased appetite and ultimately illness. Sugar leads to many diseases, disorders and illnesses such as diabetes and high cholesterol. Perhaps you have heard that sugar is a white killer! The amount of sugar we consume is constantly increasing. Some statistics show that Americans use 22.2 spoons of sugar per day, the equivalent of 335 calories. It is too much! Be careful, sugar is hidden everywhere and in almost every processed food including bread, sauces, sodas, and even unlikely foods such as sausage. We must remove white sugar from our diet. However, don’t jump to artificial sweeteners like Splenda and Zero, or diet products, because they contain aspartame, a dangerous substance that contains more than 90 negative side effects. Like processed sugar, aspartame increases our appetite and it is addictive. One of the best solutions for alternative sweeteners is Stevia, a natural sweetener derived from the Peruvian plant stevia. It is very sweet with a high concentration of 200 times the amount of sweeter than refined white sugar. It has a glycemic index of 0 and has no negative side effects. Stevia is the one sweetener that should be substituted or added to your diet.
