Medical studies indicate that sugar may be a factor that ages the skin..NO.. don´t tell me that.. I love sugar.. well, there are alternatives out there that are said to be better for you and should be tried..

Stevia and Xylitol (sugar sounds much better) are herbs that taste a lot like sugar but don´t harm you as much. Stevia can be found in diet drinks and does not increase your sugar levels as honey might. Xylitol is very similar to sugar in sight and specially taste, and is also great for teeth, it is found as an ingredient in many toothpastes.

These variants of sugar are a little more expensive but they are worth it if they are able to keep us healthy longer. For baking, sugar is still the best alternative just remember my favorite words.. moderation..
