Sokeri – hyvis vai pahis?

This blog post argues that refined white sugar is nutritionally empty and promotes less refined alternatives such as whole cane sugar and coconut sugar. The author compares different sugar types, discusses perceived effects on health, taste, hormones, and satiety, and recommends supermarket choices based on nutrient content and production methods. It also presents sugar "upgrading" as an easy dietary improvement with positive effects for consumers, producers, and the environment.
