» Victoria Anisman-Reiner - good sugars

In response to good sugars posted by nesteditor:

Hi nesteditor,

As far as I know, all of the healthy sweeteners mentioned in my article are available in the UK, just as in the States or Canada - with the possible exception of maple syrup, which may be pricier there. Agave and stevia aren't native plants in Canada, either, so they are routinely imported. I'm pretty sure you can find both in health food stores throughout the UK.

If you're concerned about weight loss or caloric intake, you might want to avoid honey in favour of agave or stevia. Agave and stevia are also lower on the glycemic index and are better for you.

Best wishes in your endeavors to improve your health,
~Victoria
