Sweeter And Less Violent Than Sugar
Many sugar growers burn fields before cutting cane... to simply harvest. In the process, countless small mammals, nesting birds, reptiles insects are burned. More nonviolent sweets include date sugar, fructose crystals processed from fruits. Corn syrup is not as violent as sugar.
Fructose is sweeter than sugar.
M Burros, food editor of both the Washington Post and NY Times, reported that unlike sugar, fructose does not require insulin secretion because it is not involved with the pancreas.
Fructose has polysaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharides, energy capsules of different time release for an even energy flow. Sugar is a quick burning match but fruit sugars are more stable and enduring and not correlated to diabetes the way sugar is.
Overeating and sugar are linked. After a heavy meal the body craves sweets. It's easier to break a sugar addiction if one sticks to predesigned calorie limits in a meal.
Aspartame under brand names like NutraSweet was designed originally as an antkiller. It causes brain lesions.
