Unorthodox Natural Sweeteners Make Good Substitute For Refined Sugar

August 6, 2009: 11:57 AM EST
Refined sugar in kids’ lunches has some serious nutritional drawbacks. Besides the fact that the nutritional value is zero, the energy boost it gives kids is too quick and too temporary. It also tends to make kids sleepy and leave them craving more sugar. Better for school lunches, besides fruit and yogurt, are a couple of unorthodox natural sweeteners – coconut palm sugar and agave nectar. Palm sugar raises blood sugar levels gradually and provides energy longer. Agave nectar is more nutritious and sweeter than sugar, so less is needed.
