LLHL 108 - Sugar & A Healthy Diet

When thinking about sugar and the role it plays in your diet and its impact on your health, it is essential to understand the difference between sugars that are natural (glucose and fructose) and those that are man-made (sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup). Learn how to identify different sugars, how to use nature's sugars in your diet and cooking, and how to begin to break an attachment to man-made sugars. Students will learn to work with a food diary to track their sugar and overall eating habits. Special fee covers food samples; please bring a journal or notebook to the first class.
