What you should know about sweeteners!

1- Fructose: it’s extracted from fruits and honey. It doesn’t increase sugar in the blood as fast as sugar but still has to be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes.

2- Sorbitol: extracted from fruits like plums. It is less sweet than sugar and can be used by diabetics. It is used by big industries to make sweets.

3- Stevia: made from the plant stevia, it is 300 times sweeter than sugar but leaves a bitter taste at the end! It is very safe to use!

4- Aspartame: contains 4 calories per gram. It is not recommended for pregnant woman nor for people who are intolerant to phenylalanine.

5- Sacarine: can be used in hot or cold food but contains high quantity of sodium so careful because it can cause hypertension and renal problems.

Motivating Quotes

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” (The Bible, Psalm 37: 4)
Better to have a big goal and reach half of it than to have no goal and reach all of it (Joyce Meyer)
We are what we think. Negative thinking causes loss of energy that is transformed into illness. Good humor, laughter, leisure, joy, replenish health and bring long life
Nobody has a perfect life, and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life, they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours. So enjoy what you have, who you are, and what you do! (Joyce Meyer)
God will help you be all you can be, but He will never let you be successful at becoming someone else (Joyce Meyer)
