What is the least health-threatening sugar?

 

Sugar itself isn’t the enemy; your body runs on sugar. If you eat organic whole wheat bread, your body won’t absorb anything from it unless it is turned by your digestive system into… sugar.

But getting too many of your calories from refined sugar comes at the expense of fiber, vitamins and minerals that were in the source foods before the sugar was separated. And when bleach and other chemicals are used in the refinement, that’s also not a natural nor contributing addition to your diet.

To answer your question most simply, dried organic fruit, maple syrup, honey, and dried natural organic sugar cane juice (blonde sugar) are all quite natural products where nothing is added and only water is removed, which concentrates sugar levels. Dried organic fruit is probably the best choice given that it retains all of the fiber and much of the vitamins of the original product. I absolutely adore an assortment of chopped dried fruit in a homemade granola, which is a delicious sweet treat despite the goodness of being filled with the natural fiber of the whole oats and fruit. And when served over a good quality vanilla ice cream or even yogurt, it is absolutely heavenly.
