I have a question regarding sugar

It’s good to question the role of sugar in your diet and consider the alternatives. The ideal approach is to avoid as much added sweetener as possible, and enjoy a piece of fruit if you like something sweet after a meal (if you have no medical reason not to). When it comes to keeping your blood sugar stable, other “sugars” like coconut sugar or maple syrup are, on balance, the same as white sugar, supplying you with extra calories and minimal nutrients. Erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit extract are generally recognized as safe and have no calories, though we recommend minimizing their use in your efforts to kick the sugar habit. Avoid artificial sweeteners (such as aspartame and saccharin), as they have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals.
