The problem with sugar is nothing new. We’ve heard about how dangerous sugar is for your body for years now. That’s why we’ve seen a huge increase in the number of natural sweeteners flooding the market.
Everywhere you look, you can find a substitute for sugar that claims to be the best. But many of those products are flavorless or leave you wanting more.
And if it doesn’t taste good, what’s the point? You might as well stick with sugar – you know you won’t make it trying to replace your favorite treat with something that leaves you feeling unsatisfied.
That’s why SweetLeaf does it better. At SweetLeaf, natural sugar substitutes aren’t new to us. They’ve been in the game for over 40 years, bringing you better-tasting, healthier substitutes for sugar.
Not only that, but now they’ve made it easier than ever to get the sweet taste you crave without feeling bad about it later.
What’s Wrong With Sugar?
You can hear it shouted from the rooftops – stay away from sugar. But why? What’s so bad about eating sugar?
The truth is, sugar by itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s the OVER consumption of sugar that’ll get you in trouble. Eating too much sugar can lead to weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes in the long term.
There’s also the short-term negative effects of too much sugar. This can show up as cavities, migraines, and those awful blood sugar spikes that can leave you feeling jittery or totally depleted.
You may be thinking you can avoid eating too much sugar by cutting sugar out of your diet. That’s a common pitfall people get into when they want to avoid overconsumption.
Unfortunately, nearly everything you can buy at a grocery store is loaded with hidden sugars. Fast food? Forget about it. You might as well down an entire bag of sugar by itself. Our culture is ruled by sugar.
If you’re one of the disciplined ones who manages to reduce your sugar intake, it’s likely that you’ll fall right back into the sugar temptation within a few days or weeks. Our bodies are so conditioned to eat sugar that without its sweet taste, our mind goes into crazy cravings mode. You won’t be satisfied until you allow yourself to indulge.
And then the negative sugar cycle starts all over.
The bottom line: too much sugar is a problem for our bodies but cutting it out isn’t sustainable for most people. We need a natural sweetener to act as a substitute for sugar so we can get all the taste without any of the consequences.
The Natural Sweetener Your Body Craves
When it comes to natural sweeteners, it’s all about the taste without the crash later.
SweetLeaf natural sweeteners do it differently.
Here’s why their sweeteners are better tasting and better for you:
- Stevia. Stevia’s a common plant in Central and South America. It has an intensely sweet taste – up to 300 times that of sugar, which means you don’t need much to pack a punch. The best part is, it has zero calories so you can indulge without the guilt. Stevia also doesn’t affect your blood sugar like normal sugar so those jitters and crashes are a thing of the past. They were the first to bring stevia to the United States over 40 years ago. So they’ve had plenty of time to test, try, and create the perfect recipe to bring you the sweetest, most delicious taste using the stevia plant.
- Monk Fruit. They added monk fruit to our family of products in 2020, but it’s been a staple in Chinese medicine for years. Monk fruit is up to 200 times sweeter than sugar and has zero calories. Just like stevia, you get the sweetness you crave without the negative consequences to your body.
These two natural ingredients plus their dedication to bringing you the best tasting sweeteners on the market are a recipe for success. Their passion means a sweeter, healthier life for you.
