the problem with a lot of products out there is that they are marketed as "health" products because they are low in fat or dont have sugar, but the chemicals that are used in them to make them sugar freee or low in fat can be far worse for your health. our bodies are "hard wired" to be able to process diets that we, as humans, ate hundresd of thousands of years ago. our bodies dont know how to properly process "modified milk ingredients" (what does that even mean..modified? how??) "artaficial colour" or any other chemicals in these producs.
if i do buy processed products, i usually look for the least amount of ingredients as possible and make sure you can pronounce and understand what each ingedient is. also be carful for other sugars such as any ingredient ending in "ose" (glucose, fruictose..etc) as those are all a form of sugar.
i would actually chose to eat sugar over artificial sweetners as your body at least knows how to process it better, but if you are doing a low sugar diet, i would choose a natural yogurt with no sugar or artaficial sweetner at all. what i usually do is take plain, natural organic yogurt and blend it with fresh fruit to make my own fruit yogurt. or i will mix frozen fruit with a little bit of yogurt and milk to make a "smooty for breakfast. a trick to make it sweeter is to use a little pinapple or even a banana in the mix! yum!! |
