Popular Sugar Substitutes and Your Health

Humans are engineered to love sugar. Modern scientists speculate this is because most fruit and overly saccharine foods in nature are relatively free of poisons and toxicity issues. In either case, today's humans receive an electrifying sugar rush, or blood sugar spike, after slurping up a milkshake or munching on one or three brownies. That in itself, and in moderation, isn't inherently derailing for one's health. The more troubling issue is the modern influx of sugar substitutes in our foods falsely toted as organic and natural. This article will cover some of these sugar substitutes, the foods that these sugar substitutes find themselves in, and the health repercussions to regularly consuming sugar substitutes.

Prime offender: HFCS


High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is increasingly common in the United States. Because of the economical upside to using HFCS over, say, organic cane sugar, as well as the generous government subsidies given to the corn industry in the United States, HFCS has attained ascendancy over other sugar-like ingredients and additives. HFCS is actually present in processed foods ranging from cereals, breads, and lunch meats to ice creams, soups, and yogurts. The public should realize, however, that HFCS is not the same type of sugar as table sugar or organic cane sugar. In fact, HFCS starts out as a corn syrup but is enzymatically altered to convert some of the glucose into fructose. This alteration makes the HFCS more sweet, but also presents health issues. HFCS is currently being investigated as a possible contributor to cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. In the meantime, it may be better to play it safe and opt for organic sugar or organic cane sugar to complement your coffee or dessert.

What is Stevia?

Stevia, also known as sugarleaf, actually enjoys some advantages over both HFCS and regular table sugar. Stevia has a more gradual onset and more extended duration than regular sugar. Stevia also has the distinction of having zero points on the glycemic index and zero calories. The glycemic index essentially measures the amount and type of blood sugar alteration which occurs after a particular food is consumed. That said, since Stevia has relatively little action on blood sugar, it may be preferable for those diagnosed or at risk for diabetes and obesity. Although Stevia has been used ubiquitously in South America and Japan for centuries, it's use is still blooming in the United States. Stevia should become more accepted over the next ten years as a natural, relatively healthy sugar substitute.

Splenda and Sucralose


Sucralose is amazingly six hundred times more sweet than conventional sugar! Sucralose is a chlorinated sugar used in Splenda, beverages, gums, and some baked goods. Sucralose is quite unique as a sugar substitute because it retains its chemical structure when heated. This means that sucralose can safely be used in baked goods and breads without compromising taste or potency. Sucralose, as with most sugar substitutes, has some pros and cons. The most prominent plus is that only fifteen percent of sucralose is assimilated by the body, and the rest is innocuously excreted. One poignant downside to sucralose is that it belongs to a class of chemicals known as organochlorides. This is a problem because some types of organochlorides have been scientifically shown to be carcinogens or toxic. Perhaps like HFCS, while the public will have to wait for scientific consensus on the safety profile of sucralose, caution is best exercised in the meantime.

This article has outlined some of today's most prominent sugar substitutes, and their health effects. Since sugar substitutes, especially HFCS, are increasingly found among foods in literally every section of the grocery store, it's important that the public understand the origins, scientific findings, and health effects of these sugar substitutes.

How to Plan Well-Rounded Exercise Regime

Stop right there! Before you start running around the track for 60 minutes a day in a bid to lose weight, you should consider the plan that you have. Constantly engaging in the same exact exercise might not be the best way to achieve success. You want to make sure that you're being well-rounded, since that is the best way to ensure optimal health. Read on to find out how you can an overall more effective workout regime.

Consult with Professionals

Talk with your doctor about a specific workout plan. For example, if you're at a risk for a heart attack, your doctor is most likely going to recommend that you avoid certain high energy activities! Everyone's body is different. After you have discussed your needs with your doctor, talk to a trainer at your gym to figure out the best exercises for you.

Cardio and Strength
Head to the gym any day of the week. You'll probably see the strength training area full of guys who want to tone up and the cardio section laden with ladies looking to lose weight. Try not to fall into this mold. Both cardio and strength training activities are necessary. Cardio helps you to lose weight and build stamina, while strength training helps you to tone up and to build endurance. If you lost a bunch of weight and are noticing some extra skin hanging around, adding strength training can help you to tone up again.

Realistic Goals

Planning a well-rounded exercise regime is about your mental health too. According to Arthritis Today's article entitled "Making a Well-Rounded Workout," it's important to set realistic goals. If you don't exercise at all, plan to start with 20 minutes per day. You can even take small breaks if you can't get through the whole 20 minutes. As you build strength and endurance, you'll be able to take more on. You might do more time on the elliptical, or you may be able to lift heavier weights. Going step by step helps to prevent injuries, which is a major part of overall health.

Accompanying Diet
Part of embarking on a well-rounded exercise regime is to have a diet that provides fuel and energy for your body. Select lean proteins such as chicken and fish, and eat leafy green vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus. Talk to your doctor about particular foods that you should avoid for any health problems that you may have. Remember, if you work out for 40 minutes a day, and then go home and consume a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake, your exercise efforts are not going to produce the desired results at all.

Focusing on overall health is an important part of any exercise undertaking. You want to make sure that your body can handle the stress of the exercises, and that you are taking in the proper nutrients to keep you going. Consulting with doctors and trainers is always important to make sure that you do not injure yourself during the exercises.

The Price Paid for Vegetarianism

Some people spend a lot of time complaining that living a vegetarian lifestyle is difficult, because selecting these food options is more expensive than choosing traditional meals. However, vegetarians will be happy to know that they too can indulge in cost effective recipes! Here are my favorites :)

Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches

Pick up a package of your favorite bread, whether it's whole wheat sandwich thins or thick slices of panini bread, and an array of your favorite vegetables. Ideas include peppers, zucchini, broccoli and so forth. Grill or saute them up with some garlic and olive oil, toast the bread or put it in a panini maker and add the vegetables. You'll have a delicious, home cooked meal for cheap.

Vegetarian Tacos

Set up a vegetarian taco bar in your house. Your family and wallet will love it! If you shop for store brand items, you can find shredded cheddar, sour cream, taco shells, salsa and avocados for fairly low prices. Cook up rice and beans to put into the tacos. If you do eat fish, you could also opt for tacos with shrimp or pieces of fillet. A large package of 50-60 shrimp can provide several meals for your family.

Burgers and Fries
No one says that you have to miss out on an all America meal of burgers and fries just because you're a vegetarian. You can pick up packages of ready made veggie or black bean burgers in the store, but it may be more cost effective to make your own. Mix all of your favorites together in the same way that you do with traditional burgers. You can add whatever seasonings and sauces that you like. For healthier fries as a side dish, sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil over cut up potatoes and bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for approximately 45 minutes.

Pasta and Vegetables
You have so many options when mixing together pasta and vegetables. You could saute them with soy sauce and ginger for some Asian inspired flavor. You could also do a traditional spaghetti dinner with homemade sauce, and chop up tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and pieces of garlic to have instead of meatballs. Sure, you can have plain pasta, but adding in those extras give the meal some bulk and excitement.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese
While everyone else is adding bacon, sausage and ham to their grilled cheeses, you'll save a few dollars from avoiding these meats. Instead, you can put the money from that budget into some more exciting cheeses. Try Gruyere or Brie for your next grilled cheese. Add some sliced apples with that brie for an extra special bite of delight. If you're on a very, very strict budget, just try some cheeses other than the standard American. Cheddar, mozzarella and Swiss are all affordable cheeses that immediately come to mind.

See? Living a vegetarian lifestyle doesn't mean that you have to be poor. If you're willing to think outside the box a little bit, you can eat an array of foods that make meat eaters jealous of both your bank account and meals.
