Can’t seem to satisfy your sweet tooth? Do you experience cravings, headaches, joint pain, fatigue or have difficulty losing weight? You are not alone. Packaged convenience foods like granola bars, canned soups, condiments, breakfast cereals and protein powders are packed with hidden sugars. The sugar epidemic has put North Americans in a state of chronic pain, anxiety and obesity which is not very… convenient!
