Nowadays there is a lot of refined, canned and fast food. White flour and sugar have become the foundation of the food industry. But fortunately any harmful product can always be replaced by useful. Let's understand what to replace the harmful products .
How to replace harmful food

- White sugar - unrefined cane sugar, maple syrup, coconut sugar, grape sugar, agave syrup, Jerusalem artichoke syrup, stevia, high-quality honey.
- Refined oil is unrefined. You can cook on water or steam. And also bake in the oven, and then add butter.
- Cow's milk is any vegetable milk. On this subject there is an article Than to replace milk .
