Sugar has the ability to turn a civil housewife into a raging addict if
you take away her “fix”. We know all about sugar addiction—we speak
from experience. Withdrawal isn’t pretty either—lethargy, depression,
constant craving and big time crankiness top my list of symptoms. It
took me a few days till we started feeling human again, but we did it
and we are so glad we did. The vicious cycle of sugar addiction is no
laughing matter.
Not only does it stun your immune system while you snarf a candy bar,
it makes you fat. You know the old saying—a moment on the lips, forever
on the hips? It isn’t just butter that will make your thighs
thunderous—sugar is just as lethal. Too many carbohydrates (and that is
exactly what sugar is—100% pure carbs) causes your overloaded glycogen
supply to convert to fat. So don’t think eating those “fat free”
cookies are going to help you lose any weight—check out the number of
carbs on the nutrition label—you’re feeding your thighs!
But giving up sugar doesn’t mean you need to give up having something
sweet every now and again. Keeping sweet stuff in balance is the key,
but you need to get the sugar out. There is an excellent substitute for
sugar called Rapadura. It is evaporated sugar cane juice all ground up
and granulated, looking something like regular white sugar with a nice
tan. That’s all it is! Understand that the problem with white sugar is
the process of how white sugar got to be white sugar. Sugar cane isn’t
bad stuff—on the contrary. And when it is treated gently and processed
minimally, you’ve got an excellent product.
Rapadura’s flavor is excellent and it is perfect for cooking, baking
and sprinkling a little on your oatmeal or in your tea. The neat thing
about Rapadura is you can have your cake and eat it, too! Rapadura
doesn’t cause blood sugar levels to spike like white sugar does. It is
a much kinder, gentler sugar and actually has trace minerals and
vitamins—you’ll never see that with white sugar! Please send your

Everything good Sucanat has, Rapadura has more of: especially nutrients
and a superior flavor. Easy to pour and measure (just like white sugar)
you use it just like white sugar measure for measure. For more
