Day 9: A Rose by Any Other Name… (31 days without sugar)

Some people were asking me, what about honey? Or cane sugar? Or agave? Those are better than white (refined) sugar, right? These are all better options than high fructose corn syrup, right?

Yes, some of those things might be better in some ways- they are less refined, which leaves less of a carbon footprint on the earth. They may have more trace nutrients than white sugar. They’re vegan, whereas white sugar is generally processed with bone char.

But your body uses them the same way. Here’s a cool article for you to check out: https://www.popsci.com/high-fructose-corn-syrup-sugar/
