"What is something that is naturally sweet but doesn’t spike blood sugar? I want to use it in recipes and bakes."

I talk about healthy fat, unhealthy fat, what fat actually does for your body, and how you should be looking at fat on your plate to make sure you are ingesting the healthiest fat options.
