Trust Nature: Sugar Alternatives Linked to Diabetes...Anyway
"Artificial sweeteners may lead to diabetes" boasted the front page on my first stop of distractions before I started my "work" day this morning.
The first thought to my head: But of course! Why wouldn't another MAN made product actually be WORSE than its natural original. Even my short search on Truvia "Nature's Calorie Free Sweetener" showed false promise, safer as an insecticide?! Ok.
It's truly sad that generations of people swear by this living like my 80 year old aunt, thinking the choices recommended by her doctor are best in helping manage her diabetes. But he's just another player in the game of the health system, intended "for the people" working very much against them.
People, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION! Have nature's sugar, just don't go overboard!
- Forgo adding that extra heap of sugar to your Cheerios. Try fruit instead.
- Two Crocker Pot tubs of sugar is more than enough for that pitcher of Koolaid, don't you think?
-Double cream, triple sugar?! I hate the taste of the coffee per se, but honey's sweet is naturally more dense. Takes less to get you there ;o)
To err is human, people. The sooner you ACCEPT that the better.
