While we on the topic of battling sugar, one cannot ignore all the sugar substitutes that are available to make our lives somewhat easier by not being totally sugar deprived. Then I have this diabetic friend who will eat dessert but offset it by drinking bitter gourd juice.....not sure if that is the right solution!
I have already blogged about sugar vs sweetener but could not ignore this article in the Globe today on Stevia, which seems to be the new fad. Enjoy the read
I use SweetLeaf Sweetener Stevia. I love it in smoothies! It has 0 calories, 0 carbs, and a 0 glycemic index!
