elcome to our Autumn edition, which focuses on the much-
talked about subject of sugar. In this issue you’ll learn about
artificial sweeteners from Diabetes Victoria, Diabetes NSW
demystifies the glycaemic index, and Kate from Foost teaches us how
to help your kids go bananas for Brussels sprouts! There are also plenty
of easy recipes and snacks to help satisfy the afternoon sugar cravings
whilst packing a nutritional punch!
For me the biggest lesson from this edition is that sugar should not be
feared. Sugar is found in so many foods and, like everything, it’s all
about moderation, learning to read and understand the sugar content
on packaging, and making informed choices. I am pleased I can continue
to enjoy an ice cream at the movies with my wife, as this is a treat we
don’t do everyday.
So take a read and I’d love to hear what
your key takeouts are from this sugar
edition or send through any feedback via
the email address below.
