More than 34 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), and approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes. Cutting sugar out of your diet offers health benefits even for people who aren’t at risk for diabetes.

I have never tried the Swerve brown sugar. The regular swerve is OK and I do like to enjoy my sweets.
I’d eat that! Not sure that I’d make it, but I’d eat it.
They look really good. I love these in bar form.
