Question:
Which natural sweetener is the healthiest?
— Sonia Linkfield
Answer:
There is no one healthiest sweetener. It really depends on who you are. I can have some desserts with some cane sugar. I use just enough to make the dessert taste good and taste like a dessert, but not more. I tend to use more coconut sugar before people say to me, well, because of the glycemic index, I'd rather use coconut sugar, for example. Um, check out Brenda Davis Rd and Vice Santo Melina and uh, Jill Nelson. Now these vegan rds who really know a lot and have data to back it up. There's a difference between the glycemic index and the glycemic load. So it makes a difference what you've eaten before, Sonia, I don't have a one sweetener that I think is the healthiest for you, but stay away from the fakes.
