Natural Sweeteners
31st December 2006
In my previous post (quite some time ago) I talked about how can coffee lower the risk for type 2 diabetes. A rather relevant topic can be sugar alternatives. Which is sugar alternatives are the best for diabetics is a question that I can not honestly answer. However, personally I prefer natural sweeteners instead of artificial ones. One good choice of a sugar substitute for example is xylitol, a natural sweetener with a glycemic index of 7 and fewer calories than sugar. However, as it is stated in diabetes.org, even the not natural low-calorie sweeteners have been tested and have been found to be safe so I guess it comes down to personal preference.
