@authenticteecee2.0: How to Make Healthy Kool-aid! #koolaid #drink #drinks OK, understandably, that was a lot of words. Here’s the simple version. There are basically three categories: Natural Sugars — sucrose (table sugar), glucose, fructose (fruit sugar), and lactose (milk sugar). Artificial Sweeteners — aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin. These are man-made and typically don’t raise blood sugar. Some studies have raised concerns about possible long-term health effects, which is why some people choose to avoid them. Natural Sweeteners — monk fruit and stevia. These come from natural sources, taste sweet, and generally don’t raise blood sugar. Here’s what happens in the body: Natural sugar: Blood sugar goes up, insulin is released, and your cells use the sugar for energy. Over time, too much sugar and excess calories can contribute to insulin resistance and eventually Type 2 diabetes. Artificial sweeteners: Usually don’t raise blood sugar, but some people avoid them because research is still ongoing regarding potential health effects. Natural sweeteners: Usually don’t raise blood sugar and currently appear to be a good alternative for many people. Personally, if I had to make a “healthier Kool-Aid,” I’d choose monk fruit. I already use monk fruit in my everyday life. And one last thing: drinking fruit juice is not the same as eating whole fruit. The fiber is in the pulp and skin. Without that fiber, your body processes the sugar much faster. You may as well eat candy. This has been my TED Talk. Love y’all. Bye.
