Opt for natural sweeteners like maple syrup or dates from "summary" of How Not to Die by Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM,Gene Stone
When looking for ways to sweeten your food or beverages, it's important to consider the impact that different sweeteners can have on your health. Opting for natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or dates can be a healthier choice compared to refined sugars or artificial sweeteners. Maple syrup is a natural sweetener that is made from the sap of sugar maple trees. It contains antioxidants and minerals such as manganese and zinc, which can offer some health benefits in addition to its sweet taste. Dates, on the other hand, are fruits that are naturally sweet and can be used as a whole food sweetener in recipes. Choosing natural sweeteners like maple syrup or dates can help you reduce your intake of refined sugars, which have been linked to a variety of health issues including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. By opting for natural sweeteners, you can satisfy your sweet tooth while also providing your body with some additional nutrients. It's important to remember, however, that even natural sweeteners should be consumed in moderation. While they may offer some health benefits compared to refined sugars, they still contain calories and can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Be mindful of your overall sugar intake and try to limit your consumption of all sweeteners, natural or otherwise.
