ALTERNATIVES OF REFINED SUGAR

Sugar is a major contributor to weight gain and various health issues. Reducing sugar intake can be challenging, but there are several effective alternatives you can consider.

Here are some better options: 

A plant-based sweetener that is up to 450 times sweeter than sugar, contains no calories and may have a different taste from sugar. It can help prevent weight gain and lower blood sugar levels.

It contains minerals like calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese, and phenolic compounds with potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Despite its nutrients, it is high in sugar and should be used sparingly.

It is a  monosaccharide found in certain fruits. It is about 70% as sweet as table sugar and provides only 0.2 calories per gram. It closely mimics the taste of regular sugar

A golden liquid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. The specific compounds vary based on bee type and flower source. Use honey in moderation due to its high sugar and calorie content

Dried fruits from the date palm tree. They are a nutrient-rich alternative to refined sugar, offering fiber, potassium, magnesium, manganese, vitamin B6, and antioxidants like carotenoids and polyphenols

A thick, brown syrup produced by boiling sugar cane or beet juice. It provides vitamins and minerals such as iron, potassium, and calcium, along with antioxidants.
