Turbinado Sugar Diet Details and Health Advantages

Too much of everything is bad for you even the healthy stuff.

OMG-rofl will have to be creful with this Agave stuff-don’t want to end up on Mars-damn gas explosions…

wow seriously lazy detractors they have the damn phone in their hands all they have to do is look up the health benefits of beets.

Is stevia or the ather replacements good for someone with cancer!!?

Stevia is nasty to me. I use monk fruit sweetener all the time.

very good info. I am glad I found this video. Ill be using this

i’m no raw food person, but she just killed every nutrient in it

the gas explosion graphic was hilarious, when your tummy doesn’t like something it lets you know and others know too lol. I never tried agave wasn’t too sure of the benefits I think I’ll stick with my stevia. I thank you for sharing info about it, new to the channel found you by accident glad I did:)

I use fruit instead the problem with all these is that they make you eat more. Perhaps fruit makes you eat more as well?

**I would rather consume honey than agave garbage since consuming agave is terrible for the environment when considering all the fossil fuels involved in manufacturing/processing, and transporting it from the deep south to the north. It doesn’t make sense to me. It helps encourage pollination to take some (not all) honey of the bees honey;otherwise, maybe bees would get lazy engorging themselves on too much honey; afterall, they always make alot more honey then they need. Its a symbiotic balance between man and bees.Lastly, Honey is the healthiest sweeter for you by far. I think I will look after my health first before following religious nuts. We all need some common sense once in a while.**

Great video Doc, I have Stevia in my home but Im also going to lean towards the honey now. Thanks

Axe, how is honey, maple & dates a sugar substitute? All sugar still, disappointing video, boo. Stevia, is.

AGAVE IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN ANYTHING ELSE LOL JUST DONT EAT TOO MUCH OF IT AND YOU WILL BE FINE. THAT WAS THE POINT SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE.

Wow, you are amazing. May I come to your home for a solid day of healthy baking? If that isn’t possible, give me some recipes that allows me the correct indication of healthy sweetness as opposed to nasty and unhealthy pressed sugar.

Dr Axe! What are your thoughts about Monkfruit? I’m a coffee drinker who like it sweet so I started using Monkfruit by Lakanto instead of Stevia. Stevia has a weird taste

I am not even paying attention to what she is saying… as i am going through the comments all i hear is sugar bad, bad sugar, bad bad bad sugar. Horrible sugar… i mean horrible video

Dr Axe is erythritol healthy in your opinion?
Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge with the world.

Try pure date syrup as well by Date Lady. Ingredients 100% dates. If you get date sugar get it by Now Foods. Theirs doesn’t clump and gets the best reviews. Healthiest sweeteners on the planet.

Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added to it??? A very misleading statement, which is only partially true. Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content, or it is produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar. Reading the label will tell you which brown sugar you have. If you have brown cane sugar, it is very healthy*, in regards to *Prevention and treatment of cold and flu symptoms are one of the many health benefits of cane sugar. It helps reduce congestion and ease sore throats. Cane sugar also helps prevent cancers like prostate and breast cancer. Also, unlike refined sugars, sugar cane helps revitalize, energize and hydrate the body after exercise.

I’m looking to switch to tea and water from being addicted to Pop.

I’ve been using Splenda for my ice tea since I’m going on my sugar free vegan eating during quarantine I was eating ice cream and potato chips and wow gained a little weight so I’m back to exercises and healthy eating

Any opinions from someone who is actually used Agave? TBH I don’t cook and don’t use a lot of sweeteners but sometimes if I get a tea I may want to put sweetener in it so that’s my purpose. I’m trying to decide whether or not to pick up and agave syrup

Anything that comes from nature is good for us. It’s all God creations so we can have it and eat it all just not too much.

Stevia is a natural and safe herb 200x sweeter than regular white sugar. It is good for those who don’t want to use sugar or have diabetes. It has no side effects and I use it
myself because of my diabetes.

I’m trying to stay as natural as possible. But I’m looking for a sweetener for my oatmeal in the mornings. This video just makes it confusing. So, Agave is sweeter than Sugar, meaning I would use less, but It has High Fructose, which I avoid! I guess that means stick with white sugar?

Agave syrup is made the EXACT SAME WAY as hfcs. The only difference is the source. It’s idiotic to think anyone should be consuming this shit.

Cmon you made other video and said that honey is not a substitute of sugar and have far more fructose than sugar..you are contradicting yourself

Read the label carefully. At least one popular brand of Stevia, contains Dextrox, others contain alcohol derived sugar. Monk fruit is also an additive in some brands.

You didn’t say why it’s called nectar. Nectar is from flowers. Agave is from a killed plant’s main core.

Why do you need to sweeten oatmeal? I like it with butter and cinnamon.

If you put beets in cold water after cooking, the skin slips right off. I’m surprised a chef did not know this.

Can we take (suger in the raw ) it’s gmo free, vegan, no gluten

My family has used light Agave syrup for years as an alternative sweetener and love it for it’s versatility, and that you don’t need much to do the same job as regular sugar. I especially like it drizzled on cereal or oatmeal, instead of syrup on whole grain waffles, or mixed with a little cinnamon on top of organic oatcakes.

Stevia even organic one is processed I think. True stevia is greenish.watch out people

I was expecting jaggery to be in the list too. Does it also not have benefits like that of dates and honey?

agave is highly processed STAY CLEAR USE stevia instead! It’s SUPER high in fructose

Dr. Josh, thanks for sharing, you had shared here baking can use one of type sugar in your list #4 or #5, may i know from the ingredients recipe 100g sugar, (do i still use same substitute sugar 100g?)

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT THE HECK IS IN TRUVIA AND IF IT IS GOOD?!!!! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUR SHOW BTW<3

You must remember that Agave, just like High Fructose Corn Syrup, is a highly concentrated, processed product. You don’t just find the Tequila plant dripping in what you call sweet Agave. And don’t let the organic labels fool you. I’ve seen organic alcohol, white sugar, and caffeine, that does not mean it is good for you! There is a ton of info about how Agave is NOT good for the body on YouTube, Google, etc. Hope that helps!

I hope Stevia isn’t on this list. I’m looking for a real answer that doesn’t promote hidden cancer

Thank you for pointing out the PROS and CONS, so we can decide if it’s right for us!

Date sugar is the #1 healthiest sweetener on the planet because its just ground up dates if its pure. Agave nectar (raw or not) is the second unhealthiest sweetener in the planet. It’s horrible for you. Fact.

Indians never had refine sugar b4 britishers came n loot india. We had only these natural sweetners in india.

Agave is almost 100 percent fructose which is really bad for you. I would recommend brown rice malt syrup which is fructose free, it contains glucose, which some of your organs and run off of. Hope this helped someone: )

Wtf? Why all the confusion????! People stop being such f ing gullible morons!!!!! EVERYONE knows we need to support our local growers and that the honey from bees if it’s raw and unfiltered and not treated in any way contains nutrients and some enzymes important for digestion and your local honey also supports your immune system unlike the store bought honey. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GROWERS THAT INCLUDES BEE KEEPERS. Support your local farmers market and eat what’s in season. Stop eating the same shitty grains everyday they are ALL LOADED WITH glyphosate a toxin. They are all treated with radiation and pesticides. Organic is bullshoy today. It used to mean something but with the cross pollination happening and the allowed poisons for organic growers is still poison. WE NEEC TO WISEN UP TO THIS SLICK MARKETING. Gees were so stupid. I read the comments and I can’t believe the stupidity. Does anyone THINK FOR THEMSELVES instead of believe the TVs, radios and YouTube. Propaganda everywhere.

hope people don’t get their hopes up for a healthier alternative for normally unhealthy foods. they shouldn’t! there is no easy way out!

Ok…so lm new to keto a couple of days in so lm trying to get as much info as possible but what confuses me us how keto experts are not all saying the same thing…some say honey is a no no then others say its ok……who do you believe..??

I prefer to have a product without interference of any human being. So I prefer 100% natural organic honey. I am not trusting refinery companies products at all. And I recommend please do not trust them. 

Good advice keep up good work also know that Jesus Christ loves you I will be praying for you

So I saw all these comments saying to eat Stevia instead, not knowing what it is, I looked it up on YouTube and right off the bat I found nothing but negative and bad videos about it and those who weren’t saying anything bad were trying to disprove or debunk the “it’s bad for you” thing. Sooooooooo NOPE. I’ll stick to my Agave;)

I was getting Grade B syrup here in San Diego Ca. At the Sprouts market but it seems like they don’t sale it any more!
Could I use the Grade A syrup?

Great list except for stevia. For some reason it makes my tongue tingle or stinging and last for awhile after eating that. I avoid it now.

Dr Axe, Tupelo Honey has the lowest glycemic honey can be used by diabetics I by mine in Georgia, & Florida.

Not all sweetener (sugar) is the same,
Of the “simple sugars” there are Monosacharides and Disacharides. All have slightly different chemical characteristics, for example neurons (brain cells) only source of energy is GLUCOSE. As you said, different sugars have different glycemic indexes.

List of some Sugars in Foods
_Monosaccharides (simple sugars):_
Fructose
Galactose
Glucose
Mannose
Tagatose
_Disaccharides:_
Isomaltulose
Lactose
Maltose
Sucrose
Trehalose
Trehalulose

Agave is a brilliant sweetener. Buy organic agave. You need so little to make your salad or whatever it is you’re doing taste good. If it’s from the earth, it’s good for you. Generally I would avoid all processed foods, but agave and honey are exceptions.

Hi Doc, I am on Telmisartan and I love eating dates, but according to the prescription one who takes this medicine should not take potassium. So is the potassium in dates bad for me?? thanks

I LIKE ONLY THE MAPLE SYRUP OUT OF THIS LIST. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE STEVIA. HONEY, I CAN TOLERATE, BUT ONLY IN SMALL AMOUNTS AND DATES ARE DELICIOUS, BUT NOT APPROPRIATE FOR EVERY RECIPE. I JUST USE SPLENDA. EASY AND CONVENIENT AND I DON’T REALLY CARE WHAT IT DOES TO MY BODY. JIM MORRISON SAID IT BEST-“NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE”…..

stfu, I like her, she has humour and she’s like a ”cool mom”!

This is brilliant! I bought some Agave nectar syrup recently, but was a little apprehensive about using itmuch happier now I know exactly what it is!:)
