It’s better if you can avoid them as they encourage you to crave sweet foods.
Thank you Patsy 👍
Hi Patsy,
Apparently the only one that doesn’t affect the cravings and blood sugar is Stevia. Some people can detect an aftertaste so better to use smaller amounts if you need to.
Sugar is an addictive habit though, and if you start having unsweetened drinks etc. you soon find that many foods have a naturally sweet taste. Your taste buds become accustomed to much less sugar.
