If you want to learn how to make your own creamy sugar-free ice cream, we offer you 3 wonderful and simple recipes that will allow you to make them easily at home.
Did you know that we should actually eliminate white sugar almost completely from our daily diet? Even when we consume it occasionally, it is not at all advisable as part of a balanced and healthy diet, especially if we take into account its negative effects on our health.
Unfortunately, white sugar has become the most common sweetener option in our day to day. It is very common to use it to add a sweet flavor to our morning coffee, or we add it to desserts or other foods or drinks. Moreover, many people use it when drinking a tea or an infusion. In fact, we only have to pay attention to the statistics: today more than 120 million tons of white sugar is produced worldwide.
But let’s not fool ourselves, despite its widespread consumption, it is by no means a suitable food product for our diet and health. For example, it only provides empty calories (that is, it provides a lot of energy but practically no nutrients, and also tends to “steal” them from our body), increases the risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases, influences the appearance of diabetes and favors overweight and the obesity.
For all these reasons, the best option is to try to gradually reduce the consumption of refined sugar in our diet, and opt for other more natural and healthy sweeteners. The most suitable? Everything will depend on the taste of each person: agave syrup, corn syrup, panela the key is to choose vegetable sweeteners.
