What our nutritionist says

Even Though coconut sugar contains some nutrients, they are not enough to satisfy your nutritional needs.  Consuming too much can lead to harmful effects, as coconut sugar has the same effects on your body as any other sugar. Therefore, it is recommended to consume in moderation and stick to the serving size.
