Day 39: Use macrobiotic natural sweeteners

Sugar is stripping our body of nutrients and minerals, but there are unrefined sweeteners that we can use to make healthy treats with. Going sugar-free doesn’t mean you have to be deprived!
My recommendations of natural sweeteners are brown rice syrup, barley malt, amazake and sometimes pure maple syrup and apple juice. Rice syrup looks like honey but has a much lighter taste. Barley malt is darker and thicker than rice syrup. Amazake is made from brown rice and is a very light and tasty drink. Avoid refined sugar (white and brown), molasses, cane juice, honey, agave, stevia, and of course never use Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal, Canderel), Neotame, Sucralose (Splenda, Altern), Acesulfame-K (Sunette, Sweet & Safe, Sweet One), Cyclamates, Saccharin. and High Fructose Sweeteners.
