this means that it is literally devoid of nutrition and using it actually makes your body use up stored nutrients to process it.
This leaves many people confused about what to use to sweeten their tea and other food and drinks.
First of all, the less of any sweetener you can use, the better... if you can slowly over time adjust your taste buds to enjoy the natural taste of foods and drink without the need for heavily sweetening them, you'll see many benefits for your body including maintaining more stable blood sugar and insulin levels, managing your body weight, and reducing inflammatory effects of too much sugars and artificial sweeteners.
In my tea I use a little Agave syrup ranks low on the glycemic index, meaning it doesn't raise blood sugar levels as quickly as sugar or honey. It's slightly lower in calories than other sweeteners, and it aids digestion. I buy it at one of my favorite stores Trader Joe's!
