a word about sweets
tho its been said a million times, it is absolutely true - sweets are best when eaten in moderation, and always when they are made with organic, natural sweeteners such as maple syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt, and date sugar... for optimum health and well being it truly is best to avoid all forms of cane sugar, and any excessive use of sugars in general over the years we've gone through periods where we consumed moderate amounts of 'organic' cane sugar, usually as a result of prevailing psychic or social conditions... but each time, we always came off of it further convinced of the detrimental affects that sugar has on every aspect of health - from teeth to psychology... its negative effects are as broad as its wide scale availability at this point, sweets like the ones listed here as deserts, are eaten only occasionally, and usually for celebratory purposes - most of the time, our 'treat' is a cup of organic green tea with a little stevia in it, a bowl of rice with soy milk and apple sauce, a piece of apple with nut butter, or a piece of homemade cinnamon raisin bread there are volumes of information on this subject, but this is our basic take on it, and how we enjoy the sweeter side of things... where we live, seasonal local fruits like apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, and melons are delicacies long awaited throughout the rest of the year... simple whole foods like these, and a little extra sweetness (especially during the winter months) from things like raisins and maple syrup are our favorites, and we can highly recommend these choices for great overall health
