Sugar Substitutes
Excess sugar in you diet can really put a lot of stress on your liver and also cause you to pack on the pounds. So instead of using sugar... why not try a sugar substitute. Which ones are the good ones though?
I personally love and use Stevia Plus. Out of all the sweetners it is the only one (like sugar) that is all natural and has no bitter aftertaste. It has a glycemic index of zero and does not affect blood sugar levels so it's safe for diabetics.
Stevia is a small green plant that provides an intense sweetness that is 8-10 times sweeter than sugar. I use it on my oatmeal and in my coffee and sometimes on my sweet potatoes. I think it tastes great and is so much better for your body than sugar.
Stevia Plus also contains Frutafit Inulin Fiber (FOS), a functional food ingredient found in chicory, fruits and vegetables. FOS is mildly sweet and has zero calories per serving and is a premium soluable fiber that nourishes the friendly bacteria in the intestines. Increasing the good bacteria in the intestines helps gastrointestinal functions. Each packet of Stevia Plus contains 1 gram of fiber.
The more good/friendly bacteria (Lactobacillus and bifidobacteria) you have in your intestines the stronger your immune system will be.
The stronger your immune system, the better you can fight off free radicals!
You will find Stevia Plus in most Health Food Stores.
