The problem with eating sugar is that the body responds by raising its levels quickly followed by a sugar low. If you replace refined sugars with natural products such as honey, maple syrup, sorghum or molasses, the body with not go through the highs and lows so drastically. Each natural product brings with it its own health benefits, and you will not need as much of them as you would sugar for sweetness.
