A more nutritious food than sugar and with an even stronger sweetening power exists. A good solution to combat excess sugar.

The main ingredient in a multitude of recipes, sugar is a central food in the daily lives of the French. However, it is still difficult today to quantify average consumption in France. From cakes to fruits, dairy products and certain vegetables such as carrots, traces of sugar are found in most products present in kitchens. However, not all sugars are equal. β€œGiven their effects on health, the National Agency for Food Safety β€œThe Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Agency (ANSES) recommends not consuming more than 100 grams of sugar per day (excluding lactose and galactose) and no more than one glass of sugary drink,” according to the ANSES website.

To limit sugar consumption, without depriving yourself of sweet treats, nutritionists recommend turning to alternatives. For this, there are a number of natural sweeteners that replace white sugar (refined), which is 100% sucrose and can lead to the contraction of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. Among these sweeteners, the best known are stevia, maple syrup, agave syrup and honey.

The latter proves to be a real alternative to white sugar. Of course, it only has one calorie per gram less (3 compared to 4) but unlike sugar, honey has many qualities, both in terms of taste and nutrition. First, its average glycemic index is 55, compared to 68 for white sugar, but in addition, it has a sweetening power 1.3 times greater than sucrose, present in 100% in refined sugar.

This means that less honey is needed to experience a sweet taste. In baking, 65 grams of honey can replace 100 grams of sugar, which is 250 fewer calories on the plate and therefore a very good alternative to sugar.

If that's not enough convince, honey in addition to being 100% natural is full of virtues and benefits for the body. Its contributions in vitamins, minerals and amino acids are beneficial for health. It is known to treat throat inflammations but it can also help heal small benign wounds by applying it directly to the skin, according to UFC Que Choisir. Finally, the only disadvantages of honey are the price, and the fact that it remains a significant source of sugar. Although it has many benefits, it should be consumed in moderation.
