One of our jobs as Coaches at No Excuses is to continuously be on the “research trail” to uncover what the best possible practices or choices for your health are. And so we begin with this blog and one of the issues we want to make you aware of is a substance that is widely used and approved by our government (FDA) and pushed as something that is a “great substitute” for sugar. We know that sugar in large amounts equals bad for the body and any substitute for it should be a red flag for you. So, here we begin with a great article from Dr. Mercola and a very informative video that I would encourage us all to watch and think about its content, then apply ACTION to what we learn and make the healthy choice. I know too many people I care about ingesting this very dangerous, and carcinogenic substance and my hope is that this information will help them make the healthy choice when confronted by this substance again.
