Fallon County Timely -Tips By Sherry Vogel Refined sugar has gotten a bad rap as research unveils de- structive properties that create havoc on the human body. Substantial evidence confirms granulated sugar is detrimental to your mind, your teeth, to you maintaining a healthy weight and your overall gen- eral good health. This research presents a complicated conundrum be- cause refined sugar has been added to 77 percent of the foods in the American food supply. Products range from syrupy drinks and obvious products like sugar coated ce- reals and cookies to the less obvious products like whole wheat bread and even lunch meats, like bologna. Robert Lustig, M.D. released a statement, \sugar ought to be viewed like cigarettes and al- cohol, as a substance that is killing us\. His statement is backed up by volumes of pub- lished research. Good news is man-made re- fined sugar is easy to avoid be- cause nature has provided some healthy natural sweeten- ers that happily replace the granulated white stuff. Cards Submitted by Jay Gregory Ten people came out to play pinochle Jan. 17. There was one table of four players and two tables of three players. Winners were Jerry Neary, Levi lilebechuk, Jay Gregory and Alvina Vamer. Pinochle will be played again next Sunday, Jan. 24, at 1:30 p.m. at the Baker Senior Cit - zen Center. Following are two tips teach- ing how to use natural replace- ments instead of using refined sugar in your recipes. Replacing sugar with honer • IC. sugar = 3/4 C. honey • I Tbsp. sugar = 3/4 Tbsp. honey • I tsp. sugar = 3/4 tsp. honey * Note for baking - decrease liquid by 2-4 Tbsp., add a pinch of baking soda and de- crease oven temperature by 25 degrees. Replacing sugar with mapje syrup: • I C. sugar - 3/4 C. maple syrup • I Tbsp. sugar = 3/4 Tbsp. maple syrup 1 tsp. sugar = 3/4 tsp. map i le syrup * Note for baking products: - decrease liquid by 3 Tbsp i ., add 1/4 tsp, baking soda pp cup of syrup and decrease oven temperature by 25 t grees. So next time you bake, tip , using honey or maple syrup instead of man-made gratin- lated crystals. Let Mother Nr tare show off her natural sweetness.
