In this episode of Crunchy Stewardship, cousins Katie Fiola Jones and Chrissy Rombach dive into the topic of sugar and its significant impact on health. We discuss how sugar is the enemy to our health due to its addictive nature and its role in various chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and even cognitive diseases like Alzheimer's. They highlight how sugar is pervasive in modern diets and the importance of avoiding it at all costs, especially for children. This episode explores alternative natural sweeteners such as honey, monk fruit, and maple syrup, and coconut palm sugar which have a lower glycemic index, making them healthier options.Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Crunchy Stewardship01:05 Introduction to Today's Topic: Sugar01:39 The Spiritual and Physical Dangers of Sugar03:42 Sugar in Everyday Foods09:14 Health Impacts of Sugar36:13 Alternatives to Sugar45:59 Final Thoughts and Sign OffLinks and Resources Mentioned:Books:Nourishing Traditions (Katie's "crunchy bible"): https://amzn.to/3J6nuD2 The Home Reference to Holistic Health and Healing: https://amzn.to/3J5XrM2bNatural Sweeteners:HoneyMaple syrupCoconut palm sugar (the organic brand Katie uses): https://amzn.to/455yiK3 Monk fruit sweetenerLakanto powdered monk fruit sweetenerOther Food Products:Dutch processed cocoa powder: https://amzn.to/3HnXYZdRecipes:Katie's favorite homemade ice cream recipe: https://blog.crunchystewardship.com/post/naturally-sweetened-homemade-ice-creamMax's high protein chocolate ice cream recipe (protein powder, raw cocoa powder, heavy whipping cream, honey)Additional Resources Bible Recap study plan: https://amzn.to/3HqcRu5Connect With Us: Join Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/crunchychristianmama Follow us on Instagram @crunchystewardship FREE How to Afford Non-Toxic Living Workbook: https://crunchystewardship.com/how-to-afford-non-toxic-living
