This is part 3 of a series about sugar - with today covering perceived healthier sugar alternatives.

When people refer to sugar, they think of or refer to white granulated table sugar.  

And people will often assume or mistakenly think that if they use a sugar alternative – such as honey or agave nectar- they are making a healthier choice or something more “natural.” 

But are any of these healthier alternatives to white sugar? 

Let’s take a look at the facts.

This is part 2 of a series about sugar - with today covering natural vs added sugars

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have included recommendations to reduce added sugars in our diets for several years. 

It recommends choosing an eating pattern low in added sugars - limiting added sugars to less than 10% of calories per day for ages two and older and avoiding added sugars for infants and toddlers.

Now the key phrase here is ADDED sugars.

So, how can you determine the difference between natural vs added sugars in food? Listen to find out.

Vitamin B?

Something I see (and hear) is referring to “vitamin B” as a single nutrient. 

I am not getting enough “vitamin B.”

I need more “vitamin B.”

This food is a good source of “vitamin B.”

If you know even a bit about vitamins, you probably already know that there is more than one B vitamin.

There are eight, and some have more than one name.

But do you need to supplement them - or are you doing okay?

Have you ever said or thought this: Nutritionists are constantly changing their minds?

If people are allowed to change their minds, and dietitians are human, aren’t they given the same freedom as other humans?

The field of nutrition, a science, is supposed to have the answers and never be allowed to deviate from the original recommendation or supposed solutions from the start. 

Nutrition is a science with biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry components.

So, like many science fields, there is still a lot to learn and understand.

Recommendations aren’t changed on a whim - I guarantee it.
