For this reason, a team of scientists recently examined how different
forms of sugar affect calorie intake.
Eventually,

Make sure you check the ingredient label for human foods — corn syrup (which is a less

The brain then winds up signaling to the body that it wants
other forms of sugar and sweets to compensate for the lack of calories that is previously experienced.
As a whole our bodies can not discern the difference between
natural forms of sugar and the processed varieties.
Any form of carbohydrate is eventually broken down by the body into glucose, a

In addition, honey is the

I opted for maple syrup as the sweetener because dates would've marred the magical color and maple syrup is my next
