Humankind’s origins were a brutal quest for survival. Hunting for food and fighting prey with simple tools was tiring work. And what was the reward for it? Bloody flesh for a meal. Sweets were a very rare treat. Every once in a while our ancestors might risk some bee stings to get a taste of that sweet honey. But now, sugar is in everything. The faucet of high-fructose corn syrup pumps that calorie-rich ooze right into our veins. Staple foods that were once the bland building-blocks of meals are now sticky with sugar. But when everything is candy, how do we pull back on the saccharine without sacrificing our sweet-tooth? Join Mat and Veronique as we caramelize our cravings with assurances that it’s Not Too Sweet!
