There are alternatives to your basic table sugar and sweetenters.

You can use honey and or agave but the best is stevia (I will disscuss stevia more in a later article). It is best not to use too much of any sugary products when you first quit the sugar habit. You need time for your body to detox from the adverse effects the sugar left in you. And to tame your cravings by eliminating it.

Read your lables, there are hidden sugars everywhere. I will list many of the hidden sugars that have been proven to cause disease and cell malfunction leading to inflammation which in turn leads to certain death.
