"The Truth About Healthy Sugar: Fact or Fiction?"

TL;DR Summary
Americans consume more than double the recommended amount of added sugars, with natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup still counting as added sugars. While these natural sweeteners may have slightly lower glycemic indexes and contain some vitamins and minerals, they should still be limited in the diet. Instead, experts recommend obtaining sugar intake from naturally-occurring sources like whole fruits and milk, which also provide fiber, minerals, and vitamins. It's important to minimize the intake of added sugars commonly found in processed foods and focus on enjoying healthier sources of sugars for a balanced and healthy diet.
