Why is Sugar not allowed?

Sugars (White sugar,brown sugar, coconut sugar, palm sugar, date sugar)

We strictly do not recommend refined sugars, be it of any kind - white sugar or brown sugar.

Here's why -

Mother Nature never gives us sugar. She knows what is best for us. There’s a reason why She hung dates on trees and not sugar.

All foods that come directly from plants and trees are wholesome - raw fruits and vegetables for example. They have not been subtracted of anything. Nature has given each food item a specific ratio of protein, fats, nutrients - so that we humans can easily digest and eliminate it. However, if we fragment it by consuming only a part of it, we are spoiling Nature’s original design.

Mother Nature has made each food item a 'whole-package deal’. When she gives us sugarcane, she also gives us the mechanism of digesting it in its fiber. Eating sugarcane directly helps in the slow and controlled digestion of sugar. However, when we process the sugarcane to white sugar, we are having an excess of sweetness at once. This puts undue pressure on our pancreas. Regular consumption of refined sugar damages our pancreas. Additionally, refined sugars leech out the natural lubrication and grease from our joints and make our bones hollow.

There are great alternatives to refined sugars - dates, figs, raisins, sweet fruits. These are all wholesome sweeteners. The second-best alternative is jaggery. Remember - the darker the jaggery the purer it is
