If your body doesn't make enough insulin like a diabetic, then the sugar you eat increases the sugar in your blood to unhealthy levels. That is why it is the first food to be eliminated from a weight loss diet. By the way, it doesn't matter if the sugar is white or brown. The amount of molasses in brown sugar is so low it doesn't contribute enough of any vitamin or mineral to count on a food label. You could make that at home.
Sugar tastes good and adds flavor.
Plain water or fruit juice would be a better alternative. For the past two weeks I have started to take MetRx. I take this mix twice a day and the difference I have noticed is that I am eating less. Thank you in advance. Aspartame has been approved by the FDA for a number of years and is considered safe.
