Find out the truth about natural sweeteners"},"content":{"rendered":"<h3 class=\"text-2xl font-bold mt-1 text-text-100\">When you tell someone that you eat sugar-free sweets, you are often met with a raised eyebrow and a suspicious look. \"It's definitely full of chemicals,\" we hear regularly at Fit Cake. What if we told you that natural sweeteners have been with mankind for centuries and are friendlier to our bodies than white sugar?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>The myth of 'artificial' sweeteners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The truth is that not all sweeteners are created equal. While some are indeed created in the lab, at Fit Cake we rely on those that nature created for us long ago. Our favourites? Stevia and erythritol - two natural wonders that allow us to create delicious desserts without remorse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">We make everything by hand in family-owned small production facilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Stevia - nature's sweet gift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Imagine a plant whose leaves are up to 300 times sweeter than regular sugar, yet have zero calories. Sound like science fiction? Yet stevia, which grows naturally in South America, has been used as a sweetener for centuries!<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Importantly, stevia does not raise blood glucose levels, making it an ideal choice not only for people who are watching their weight, but also for diabetics. We use the highest quality stevia extract in our products, which adds sweetness without the characteristic aftertaste found in cheaper products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Erythritol - a natural sugar alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The other star of our kitchen is erythritol. This natural sugar alcohol is found in fruit and fermented foods. It has about 70% of sugar sweetness, but virtually zero calories - our bodies cannot digest it, so it passes through us almost untouched.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The biggest advantage of erythritol is that it tastes and behaves almost identical to sugar in baked goods. It doesn't have a strange aftertaste, it doesn't crystallise in a strange way and it doesn't leave an unpleasant feeling in the mouth. It simply works - naturally and safely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Why is natural better?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">At Fit Cake, we believe that what we eat should be as close to nature as possible. Instead of bombarding the body with refined sugar, which causes insulin spikes and is addictive like a drug, we choose ingredients that nature has perfected over thousands of years. Our body knows what to do with them, and we can enjoy the sweet taste without negative consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Our cakes, muffins and other sweets prove that healthy doesn't have to be boring. It can be simply delicious, natural and guilt-free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Taste life - no sugar, no fear!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The next time someone tells you that sugar-free sweets are \"unnatural\", smile and treat them to our dessert. Because the truth is that nature has given us everything we need to enjoy the sweet life in a healthy way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">NO SUGAR NO PROBLEM - does not mean that they lack sweetness. Our sweets are merely devoid of SUGAR while retaining 100% of healthy flavour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiedy m\u00f3wisz komu\u015b, \u017ce jesz s\u0142odycze bez cukru, cz\u0119sto spotykasz si\u0119 z&nbsp;uniesion\u0105 brwi\u0105 i&nbsp;podejrzliwym spojrzeniem. &#8222;To na&nbsp;pewno pe\u0142ne chemii&#8221; \u2013 s\u0142yszymy regularnie w&nbsp;Fit Cake.
