It is often coined for its antibacterial benefits, and is excellent to incorporate post-surgery or post-sunburn either orally or directly to the burn\/cut. Also, go for raw since none of the nutrients will be lost during the heating process.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Stevia<br \/>\n<\/strong>Stevia is an all-natural sweetener that is derived from the herb Stevia rebaudiana from Paraguay. You can find stevia in crystal or liquid forms. Try to go for stevia in the raw if you can. Some common brand names include: Truvia, SweetLeaf, and Stevita.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Coconut Sugar<br \/>\n<\/strong>This unprocessed sugar has a similar taste to brown sugar. And it is packed with nutrients, such as, iron, zinc, potassium, and B vitamins. It melts\/bakes like sugar, but doesn\u2019t induce the same glycemic response on the blood as regular sugar!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"\/sign-up\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18079\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/sw2s-online-program-833x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"833\" height=\"440\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\/collections\/books\/products\/the-dolce-diet-3-weeks-to-shredded\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3w2s-dolce-diet-weight-cut.png\" alt=\"3w2s-dolce-diet-weight-cut\" width=\"620\" height=\"280\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12618\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOLCE LIFESTYLE: 3 Healthy Alternatives to Sugar Sometimes we want to add a touch of sweetness to our green tea, coffee or Blueberry Madness.
