I recently saw a headline that said sugar was “the biggest dietary enemy we face.” But the truth is…humans evolved to eat sweet foods. It’s how our ancestors knew a food growing in the wild was safe to eat and good for us. In fact, there are no naturally sweet foods that are harmful to your health… Nature wouldn’t let you evolve to like something bad for you. Foods with natural fat, salt, and sugar are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. So if sugar isn’t the problem, what is? I’m sure you know the real health crisis comes from starchy carbohydrates in grains. Humans were never meant to eat grains. When you think about it, grains are bland and tasteless.
