I used to take sugar free for Tea. I come to know that it's harmful for our body. So can you suggest some good substitute of sugar.

Sugar free is not the substitute of sugar.As I have read in books or in related litrature ,long use of sugar free is not advisable.It causes adverse effect on human body.It is better not to use it.Rest you may consult your doctor

You can surely use sugar free in moderate quantity. (two to three suger free spoons, that are available in suger free bottles). Basically it helps you to sweeten your tea without adding suger to your body....

I have heard that its cause heart and liver disease. is it right?

I have learnt that Sugafree is harmfull to human body and should not be consumed. The best remedy is to take tea or Cofee without Sugar or Sugar free. I am not using Sugar or Sugarfree in tea sjnce last 2 years and while adopting this it will not feel comfort for a month initially thereafter you will be acustomed with it and thereafter you will not like tea or Cofee with Sugar or sugarfree. You will enjoy the real taste of Tea or Coffee and dose of insulin or oral shall be reduced.

Sugar is nothing but charcoal. It is not harmful for non diabetes who require energy.Have you seen glocose advertisements. Sugar is to be avoided only when your body reains it in excess of requirement in the blood and refuses to enter into your tissue it is harmful because, the sugar is unable to enter inot your flush for energy requirements and the sugar stagnates in blood straining you systems of heart, urine, blood vessels, kidneys, brain, lever and all such organs and leads it to premanent damage.

in this form most people ( 95% are sufferers) and consulting their dr from time to time and are writing their experience. you will get confused. it is better to follow your dr and then keep in mind what other say. when your sugar is controlled, only then take risk of experiments.

i will not advise you to commit another mistake,that is to substitute a chemical with another.keep your body stress free,no bother to digest more n more chemicals.Be positive,tune yourself with nature,always eat needful,not to pack food in your GUT.TASTE DOES NOT TRUST IN YOUR BODY.

I am type II diabetic and i was having without sugar for long time and not using sugar free knowing it is a chemical and it will be harmful. Recently one of my friend he is also a diabetic, referred me Diabliss Sugar - real cane sugar which it is made diabetic friendly by herbal process and it is completely safe and the GI is only 44. More importantly it tastes exactly like sugar, so no bitter aftertaste.

I am a Diabetes professional doctor and i see many people who say that healthy sugar substitute or best artificial sweeteners are not good for health. But this is not true as your sugar level 104/140 i must say you should take artificial sweeteners. Whether it is sucrose or aspartame. All best sugar free tablets and low calorie sweeteners contains artificial sweeteners. Natural measures is the best remedy for diabetes but first you have to decrease your sugar level by any best sweeteners for diabetics then you can opt for natural measures..

Hope this helps
