Sugars are enemy number one to regaining your health via a candida diet. Yeasts thrive on sugar. Most of us who have been experiencing candida related health problems crave sugar and find it extremely hard to completely eliminate this ingredient from our diets. What makes matters worse is that sugar is in so many of the things we eat during the day. I don’t mean the obvious snacks like cookies, candy or ice cream. I mean all those prepared foods that we pick up to eat on a daily basis. Start reading labels at the store and you will see exactaly what I mean. Sugar is also a bit of a chamelon as it is not always labeled “sugar” on packaging. Here are some of sugar’s alias.
