”Too much sugar can cause death” is a well-known fact. The dangers of sugar<\/strong> have been a main topic for researchers around the globe. Harvard,<\/strong> among the best Universities in the world, published<\/strong> several sugar-related-studies journals<\/a>. In one of their published studies, they explain the recommended dose of sugar<\/strong>, which is incredibly low <\/strong>compared to the actual real-life numbers<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that most of the foods we consume on daily basis<\/a> are sugar loaded. Therefore, in this article we explore the best alternatives to sugar<\/strong>, to lower the risks of cardiovascular disease<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Honey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Honey is a natural, delicious product.<\/strong> Besides the fact that it’s healthy thanks to the nutritions in it, it also tastes better than sugar. It has been used as a healing agent in natural medicine<\/strong>. It works as an anti-inflammatory to fight cold and sore-throats<\/strong>. However, honey is still as sweet as sugar<\/strong>, and moderate consumption<\/strong> is recommended for people diagnosed with diabetes.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stevia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This sugar substitute known as Steviol glycoside<\/strong> is extracted from a plant in South America. The ancient Guarani used it as a medicinal plant<\/strong>. It has no calories <\/strong>and does not cause any harm to the teeth. It also doesn’t affect blood sugar levels<\/strong>, so stevia can be perfectly consumed by everyone<\/strong>, including diabetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Agave Syrup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Agave Nectar<\/strong>, which comes mainly from the juice of the agave plant found in Mexico, is a sweetener just like honey. Although they taste fairly the same, Agave syrup has a thinner consistency.<\/strong> It contains metabolites, vitamins and minerals, and is suitable for vegans<\/strong>. However, due to its high fructose content<\/strong>, and big amount of calories, a moderate consumption is required. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coconut Sugar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This sugar substitute is made from the nectar of flower buds of the coconut palm.<\/strong> It tastes like caramel, and contain many vitamins and minerals<\/strong>, including magnesium<\/a>, iron and zinc. Although it is still better than regular sugar and has a lower glycemic index,<\/strong> it is a fairly pure form of sugar. So, individuals with type 2 diabetes<\/strong> should be careful<\/strong> with using it. It is also considered a luxury good<\/strong>, since it’s quite expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
