Sugar Alternatives (For When You HAVE to Have Sweet)

I hate sugar. 

Sugar is super bad for you, umkay?
Stop eating sugar. Seriously. 

There is a mountain of evidence against refined sugar, about how it is ridiculously unhealthy, messes with our insides, makes us fat and makes us generally unhappy. I try to avoid it as often as I can (though I will admit I succumb to ice cream during my bulks on occasion).

Yet I realize that sweet things are a part of life. Heck, I love watching Cupcake Wars! I love Duff Goldman! Would life honestly be worth living is dark-chocolate covered strawberries didn't exist?

Luckily for me, and any other healthy nutrition buffs with a sweet tooth out there, there are sugar alternatives that are not as destructive as sugar, and may even help other aspects of your health (like digestion and even libido).

Ben Greenfield, the fittest guy behind BenGreenfieldFitness.com, has written a fabulous article on this topic, and I knew I had to share it with you.

Without further ado, here's the link: Natural Sweetener Alternatives

Tell me what you think! Which are your favorite sugar alternatives?
