*Notes
The date sugar is the only sugar that will not be considered an “added sugar” because it is the entire date, dehydrated and ground up. Coconut sugar IS considered an “added sugar” but it is very low on the glycemic index and should not increase your blood sugar. Honey and Maple Sugars are higher on the glycemic index, but still not quite as high as cane sugar.
