We love it in chocolate chip cookies, in ice-cream, and a whole range of delectable desserts. Go to Pinterest as see what gooey beautiful confections make your mouth water and send you clicking through to find the recipes..
White sugar, found in most recipes, comes from sugar cane, a tall grass that is grown in tropical climates. Large quantities of refined sugar can also be extracted from sugar beets, a crop once grown in Maine where the climate is anything but tropical. Small quantities of unrefined sugar can be enjoyed naturally in veggies and fruits.
The health benefits of sugar are zero. It packs energy in the form of carbohydrates, but lacks any nutritional value. Mixed with other foods, sugar adds appeal.
In small amounts sugar adds to quality of life. In large amounts it adds to the risk of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, tooth decay, possibly Macular Degeneration, skin issues, and more. Some claim that sugar is as addicting as heroin. Sweet alternatives to refined sugar are pure maple sugar, agave, and honey. But even with these, moderation is key.
If you find yourself craving sweets, nicotine, alcohol, or some other type of addictive substance, try some relaxation techniques instead – deep breathing, meditation, Yoga, exercise, or even a heating pads to help you physically relax muscles.
