78 REASONS TO USE “JUST LIKE SUGAR”®

INSTEAD OF SUGAR

In addition to throwing off the body’s homeostasis, excess sugar may result in a number of other significant consequences. The following is a listing of some of sugar’s metabolic consequences from a variety of medical journals and other scientific publications. I like the list. I’ve tried the product and it tastes like a sugar substitute. Slight aftertaste. Not exactly “just like sugar” but safer for you than the alternatives.
