Cutting out Added Sugars
More than ever before consumers are looking to optimize their food choices to live more radiant and healthy lives, whether it is through a whole food, plant-based diet, paleo diet or keto diet. While these diets can be quite different from each other, they do all have one big underlying theme: cut out the added sugar!
Dr T Colin Campbell, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and famous co author of The China Study states, ‘There also is no nutritional need for refined sugar, which can be addictive in higher amounts, especially when used in beverages, pastries and other processed foods. Consumption of these foods is associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, dental caries and diabetes.’
While eating a diet without added sugars can seem daunting, you might be surprised to find that many foods can be just as satisfying with the natural sugars contained in whole food ingredients like dates, raisins and grains. Your taste buds actually adjust to find these natural sources of sweetness even more enjoyable after a short adjustment period. Without the addictive dopamine hit of highly processed sugars, you might find the stability and peace of mind from blood sugar levels naturally becoming more stable quite enjoyable.
Fortunately we have many products with no added sugars to help you on your sugar free journey. ALL of our fully sprouted Manna Bread® flavors contain no added sugar, but they do have a completely natural sweetness which is solely due to our unique sprouting process, which converts starches into maltose and other complex carbohydrates. There is no added sugar, no yeast, no salt, no preservatives, no oils or other fats. Our sourdough breads are also completely free of added sugars! You will never find dough relaxers, conditioners, added sugars, coloring, commercial yeast, baking powders or aids, or any other additives.
Our Say Cheese, Pizza Margherita and Curry Bliss organic kale chips also make the perfect no added sugar snack! Many flavors of our organic nut butters contain no added sugars such as our Sprouted Amaretto Almond, Roasted Cashew Bliss, Toast Coconut Cashew No Added Sugar, Roasted Nut Medley, and Nuts ‘N Seeds with Chia & Hemp. These flavors are even paleo and keto friendly! Our Sprouted Cinnamon Date and Sprouted Fig & Nut Manna Butters are naturally sweetened with dates or figs. We hope you can feel empowered to choose more naturally sweetened, nutrient-dense foods as your every day staples.
