General Health This forum is for any questions or concerns about your health and wellbeing.
Many people ask what they can safely use as an alternative to diet chemical sweeteners. We use Sucanat in our home, and it's my sweetener of choice if you must add sugar to your foods. My best advice - don't use any sugars at all.
Sucanat stands for SUgar CAne NATural. It's an organic sweetener made from 100% certified organic sugar cane. It's minimally processed to remain a natural and very tasty sweetener. After the sugar cane is harvested, it is pressed to squeeze out the cane juice. The juice is clarified, filtered, and evaporated to remove excess water. The resulting syrup is then crystallized, and it is rich in a molasses flavor plus the vitamins, minerals, and trace elements found in the sugar cane plant remain as a source of nutrition. [more]

I bet it’s super expensive
Just a warning to anyone looking at the page, make sure you ask your doctor about things like detoxes (I saw it mentioned further down) because really, the liver and kidneys do the work! And if you’re ever unsure of a dietary change a doctor is a good bet.
