Comments on: Sugar and Stress, Part II: http://offwhiteliving.com/2008/04/06/sugar-and-stress-part-ii/ More food. Less sugar. It's that simple Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:19:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: offwhiteliving http://offwhiteliving.com/2008/04/06/sugar-and-stress-part-ii/#comment-86 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:24:12 +0000 http://offwhiteliving.wordpress.com/?p=75#comment-86 Jordan,
thanks for the reply.
You are so right – its hard to know what is real.
One place to start is to look past the “marketing” on the front of the box/package and turn the product over.
if you see high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, aspartame, cane juice, evaporated cane juice, sugar, etc – these are all sugars. Its not that ALL sugar is bad, its just the quality and quantity that makes it. Also , look for the word “natural flavoring” – usually NOT natural at all.

I try and find foods with 12g of sugar or less (rice milk, cereals, yogurts, granola bar type things), or just avoid packaged foods and get my sugar where I know its good: from something I make or from fruit.

Coffee drinks are also a HUGE sugar culprit, and its usually not good sugar, and in high quantity. Milk has sugar, so pair that with caffeine and added sugar……TOO MUCH STIMULATION!!!

Thanks for the website – it will check it out.
Rebecca

We haven’t had a mastermind meeting in a long time, but I have been keeping up with your’s and sara’s blogs. I am in the process of getting my marketing material ready for my business and i’m really excited!

But enough of that, here’s the real reason I’m commenting your blog:
I was reading about the teas for my tea parties. I was really excited because they have fun flavors for kids and I thought they might be healthy alternative. The catch is (and they come right out and say it) is they use “natural and artificial flavors.” They go on to explain what these are and what not (http://www.littlesnowbird.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=15).
My question is what do you think about what they talk about?

It’s hard for me, and I assume a lot of consumers, to figure out what is real and what isn’t….

Again, after all that “natural and artificial flavors” what is your take?

Thank you! :0)
