Comparing Sweeteners.

There’s a world of choice in sweeteners but just so you know, not all sweeteners are created equally. While you may think that most are just completely devoid of any benefit other than that good old sugar rush, LIVA raw organic date sugar stands out as a more healthy alternative. We encourage you to check out the comparisons shown here. Maybe to save you a little time let’s share the inside story on date sugar.

Glycemic measures: Index = 55*; Load** = 1.3; Level*** = Low
