CUT SUGAR WITHOUT GUILT—THESE NATURAL SWEETENERS SATISFY SWEETNESS, PROTECT BLOOD SUGAR, AND BOOST HEALTH.

Thankfully, several healthy sugar substitutes can give you the sweetness you crave without the crash. These alternatives not only have a low or zero glycemic index but also come with added health benefits like better gut health and reduced inflammation. From stevia to yacon syrup, here are some of the best sugar substitutes that do not spike insulin and can help you enjoy your favourite foods guilt-free.
