Natural Health Is Best
How To Protect Yourself And Family
Firstly it is important for everyone to know these things about sugar before some Info I'm going to give you.....that sugar is NOT a 'Natural Food'.....and we should STAY CLEAR of the likes of Aspartame etc that is 10x more damaging to our health.
Sugars including white, brown and 'raw sugar' and even 'organic' actually undergo a Synthetic Process that separates the chemical bonds of the syrup found in sugar cane. The sugar crystals are actually manufactured through heating and mechanical and chemical processing that leaves it void of any nutrients....that applies to ALL sugars above. This finished product called sugar_ white, raw OR organic is anything but natural and in fact it is classed by true professionals as a toxic substance and an addictive drug with an Anti-Nutrient affect in our body …..compromising our physical health in ways we are not always aware of and damaging to Brain and Nerve Cells over time.

PLEASE TAKE DUE CARE TO READ MY PAGE ON MSG AND ASPARTAME AND MISLEADING SWEETENERS. THIS IS VITAL IF YOU DECIDE AGAINST SUGAR. YOU NEED TO AVOID THE DANGERS OF ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: THEY'RE PERILOUS!
Sweets are Very Addictive

that clashes with our body and is absolutely devoid of nutrients.
A Personal Story
Believe it or not, when I was young, I did not have much of an inclination towards sweets or desserts.................and I've always favored savory - especially spicy food! But I enjoyed the occasional mint or peppermint.. And at one time, in my late 20's I was introduced to Tic-Tacs (a very small packet of tiny sweets with concentrated sugar that came in 3 different flavors).
As I said, I liked peppermint, and the taste was so refreshing.....I kept having more.... and next thing, I went from 1 or 2 packets to 8 packets a day! And honestly, if I was out of them,
I would have to go out and get some - even if this meant going out at night, low on fuel, whatever and find a shop I had not run out of them! I actually did get very ill, physically after
a few months! So Sugar is no friend, believe me!
"If one could add up all those
dollars spent on sweets and more sweets!"
Sugar Toxicity - What does it do? Let's be Smarter - Dr Eric Berg
Let's take a Sugar Quiz. Let's check our Shopping Lists and Trolleys. How many Sugar Products do you have in your cupboards? Avoiding the pitfalls of Sugar in our Diet....Wise Mothers.
Everyone has a weakness usually. Mine these days is Crystalized Ginger - nice and spicy! When I get some occasionally, I go for a small packet with the least sugar, dust them off as much as I can and ration them by placing the packet out of reach - in a spot that's inconvenient to get to. This usually works because it can remind you of a decision you've made "health before taste" whatever. My friend, if that is not possible, you could well have an addiction. Please try to get some help before it breaks your pocket or breaks your health!
I WILL ADD A PAGE ON BREAKING HABITS SOON, SO YOU CAN FIND WAYS OF BEING KIND TO YOURSELF. AND IT WON'T BE JUST FOR THOSE WHO ARE ADDICTED IN SOME WAY. I THINK WE COULD ALL BENEFIT FROM SUCH INFORMATION AND WE WOULD LIKE OURSELVES BETTER. FRIENDS, YOU WOULD FEEL GREAT AFTERWARDS FOR HAVING ACHIEVED SOMETHING.
SOLUTIONS:
And also a herb powder called STEVIA that is 200-300 x sweeter than sugar......aim for a good quality product that doesn't have a bitter after-taste.....and try not to be heavy-handed as it can spoil a recipe (there is a tiny measure-spoon provided). And there are books available at Amazon that specialize in recipes for Stevia. And of-course, an 'unprocessed' Natural Raw Honey is much to be preferred to sugar and synthetic sugars.....even maple-syrup. Honey is much better for your health - in moderation. NOTE: Please make sure that the Stevia product you buy is a pure form of stevia_ not containing stevia (with sneaky chemicals added). Stevia in excess is not good for the liver but is alright in moderation. Guard yourself and family from Synthetic Sugar Replacements. Manufacturers continue to make these products at our Health's expense. Governing bodies like FDA remain ignorant.
RAW HONEY IS GOOD AND SO IS MAPLE SYRUP. MAKE SURE THE HONEY IS RAW (not heat processed) AND THAT THE MAPLE SYRUP IS GENUINE (not the cheap one in a plastic container). IF THESE PRODUCTS ARE GENUINE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU - IN MODERATION.
DO NOT EVEN HAVE MAPLE OR HONEY IN EXCESS!!! BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MEANT TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF SUGAR OR FRUIT SUGAR IN EXCESS - OUR BODY IS NOT REALLY EQUIPPED TO HANDLE IT.
BEWARE OF ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS WITH THEIR MARKETING GUISES LIKE ASPARTAME, NUTRASWEET, BALANCE, SPLENDA, EQUAL etc ...and it's ALL for big-profits...they don't care about your health! Even XYLIYOL is now found to have nasty Side Effects, according to Dr Josh Axe and other leading Natural Health Advocates! The only time I would take it is strictly a small amount medicinally, for an ear, nose or throat infection and then stop taking it.
