      <description><![CDATA[Hello Rachel, 
Natural sugar alternatives are great for those that want to watch their sugar intake and we're glad you enjoyed this list and have tried many of the ones mentioned. Monkfruit is a newer alternative that's gotten a lot of attention the past few years, you'll definitely see it on more ingredient lists. And as you mentioned, dates are great when baking and add extra nutrients and fibre. Here's a healthy dessert recipe that uses some of these sugar alternatives you may enjoy, <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/healthy-recipes/chocolate-black-bean-cupcakes/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/healthy-recipes/chocolate-black-bean-cupcakes/</a>

Stay healthy & well]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thank you for this awesome article! I agree with your top choices for sugar alternatives of the ones you list: and even share the same ranking order!! Xylitol is really amazing since not only does it not spike blood sugar (despite being much, much sweeter than table sugar!) but it also inhibits the growth of cariogenic strep mutans and is thus good for teeth too! Stevia also does not affect blood sugar and has recently has been shown to not adveresly affect the gut microbiome. Date sugar, while it does affect blood sugar, is rich in fiber and contains other nutrients and, indeed, is a great alternative to brown sugar, especially in baking.

Monkfruit and allulose are also great sweetener options which I hope you discus in future articles! :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Sharon,
Thank you for sharing. Natural alternatives to sugar are so much better for your health and many of them taste just as good if not better!  One that's gaining in popularity is monk fruit. We have many healthy recipes that use natural sugar alternatives in the recipes, we think you'll enjoy some of them.

      <description><![CDATA[Sugar substitutes are now an essential in my diet.  I use aguave, stevia, cocoanut palm sugar, and organic cane sugar.  Mostly organic cane sugar, because I am diabetic.]]></description>
