SUGAR – THE GOODNESS OF DATES (REFINED SUGAR)

April 9, 2009

While our children spoil their teeth with all sorts of sweets made from refined sugar, the children of those desert tribes have nothing but dates to satisfy their sweet tooth. It is not without good reason that dates are called the ‘meat’ of the desert Arabs. Their children eat a large amount of date sugar but still have healthy teeth, just like those of the Indian children who satisfy their desire for sweet things by eating green sugar cane or pilosillo, the condensed sugar cane juice.

What a pity that we are not similarly inclined and satisfied with simple natural things! If we could avoid the use of refined sugar, which contributes to tooth decay and many other degenerative conditions, our children’s teeth would be much better. What is more, refined sugar is now about three times dearer than it was just a few years ago. So there are many reasons why we should try to eliminate it from our diet as much as possible, substituting fruit sugar instead.
