Better Sugar

I am researching Brown Rice Syrup and other forms of natural sugars versus refined sugar. I was curious about Brown Rice Syrup and started thinking... maybe its just as bad as Corn Syrup for all I know, being it must go through being processed. But that isn't the case..
Brown Rice Syrup and Agave Nectar have a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, making them healthier alternatives. Brown Rice Syrup is about half as sweet than white sugar though, so alterations in recipes need to be made.

SweetSurprise.com, High Fructose Corn Syrup -- You and refined sugar aren't very good for one's health. There are healthier alternatives which can be used.


These better sugars are healthier alternatives to all, including diabetics, however sugar in moderation is still best. But it's nice to know there are healthier options...
