Hello dear readers! Today we'll talk about a safe sugar substitute. Enjoy reading.
The average Russian consumes annually 30 Kg Sahara. This figure includes not only refined sugar used to sweeten beverages, but also hidden sugar in baked goods and other foods. This figure is much higher than allowed by nutritionists 50 g. simple carbohydrates per day, which is equivalent 18 kg in year.
The sugar consumption rate in Russia is almost 2 times exceeded.
Many people find it difficult to do without sugar, because it quickly improves mood. This is due to the stimulation of the production of serotonin, the hormone of joy. And modern life is full of stress, so people have time to become addicted to sweets.
However, this substance is dangerous because it is addictive, and this applies not only to white sugar, but also to its brown unrefined counterpart. From year to year, the need for sweets is only growing, and given its calorie content, obesity becomes a real threat.. Doctors recommend two alternative substitutes for sugar.
Stevia is a no-calorie sugar substitute
Stevia is an excellent sugar substitute for health conscious people. The extract of this plant is 300 times sweeter than refined sugar, and most importantly, it contains only 0 calories! Stevia does not contain carbohydrates, and therefore is suitable even for people with carbohydrate metabolism disorders. It can also be used when cooking over a fire, because due to its heat resistance, stevioside will not spoil the dish.
The only difficulty is that you will have to find your product, because not everyone will like the brewed herb. Therefore, it is worth looking for stevia-based syrups for maximum purification. You also need to carefully read the labels: stevia should not contain sweeteners (fructose, sucralose, etc.).
Many people who have given up sugar today choose stevia., because it can be used to sweeten not only tea and coffee, but also any baked goods.
Erythrol is another sugar alternative
Some people don't like the bitterness characteristic of stevia, so they choose erythrol. It is also a good substitute for sugar, although its sweetness is lower than that of stevioside, in addition it contains 20 kcal per 100 g.
Stevia and erythrol do not provoke dental caries and gas formation in the intestines, which compares favorably with sugar and many sweeteners.
