"All-natural" sweeteners are, based on the role of fructose in metabolic disorders, arguably
worse for you than even high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
So-called "sugar-free" health foods are full of sweeteners such as "concentrated apple and
pear juices," which are two-thirds fructose, and the latest and greatest saviors are even worse.

screws up your metabolism. Experiment with spices and extracts like cinnamon and vanilla
instead.
