We all love a good dessert, and despite the sugar related ailments, who wants to give up the sweet stuff completely? Not to worry, there are healthier options sure to satisfy. So, if you're trying to cut your risk of heart disease (The American Heart Association connected sugar to heart disease in the 1970s) or diabetes, or lessen your acne, arthritis, or fatigue, or simply boost your immunity, here are several options you should try in your recipes.
• Fresh fruit. Mashed bananas and applesauce are great substitutes for sugar in your baked goods.
• Date sugar. With the consistency of sugar, no one will be the wiser.
• Rice syrup. Containing complex carbs and minerals, rice syrup is a better option.
• Honey. Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, honey does a body good, especially honey in the raw.
