I find that a lot of the folks that want an alternative to 'sugar' need to understand that being a diabetic and what white sugar and other 'sugars' do to the body, blood sugars... since there are 'sugars' in just about everything with cook, we need to know that some of these are ok in certain amounts and some are not. I cook with what I would call an alternative to sugar and can make just about any recipe and make it taste good, and no it was not on their list, it is a sugar alcohol, more expensive than white sugar, but we are talking about health and taste, not about expense. The problem with sugar alcohols and people they tend to try to eat like they do not have a health problem. Portion control, and just plain eating control is required, talk to a nutritionist, dietitian, etc, insurance will sometimes pay for this... this is not a medical endorsement, not in any way a suggestion it wood work for you, but we have had success with portion control and using some of the alternatives to sugar that are right there for us to use. I have suggested over the years to KAF that we could do a segment or article on this baking/cooking style and have been ignored. It appears there are more and more folks that need or recognize the need to step up to doing the right thing for them selves, and when done right, those around us will be surprised at the taste of these products. Good luck with your search. Remember that all alternatives do not work for all folks.
