What is one thing you could do right now to improve your health for the present and future? One very reasonable and potentially life altering change is to limit or eliminate added sugars and sweeteners from your diet. You might say, "well, I don't eat much sugar". Are you sure about that? If you eat processed foods of any kind, you might be surprised at the amount of sugar added. Drinks, snacks, sauces, breads, and cereals are notorious for added sugars and sweeteners. The amount of added sugar or sugar substitutes can be staggering. You should also know that sugar can be called by many names - sucrose, dextrose, syrup, dextrine, maltose, maltodextrine, lactose, glucose and those are just a few. There are over 75 different names for sugar and that's not counting the number of artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, etc. That's a lot of sneaky sweeteners being added to food. Just one 20 oz soda can have nearly 3 times the daily recommended allowance of sugar.

Too much sugar in your diet can lead to all sorts of trouble - obesity, cancer, type-2 diabetes, acne, depression, heart disease, autoimmune disease, kidney and liver disease and the list goes on. You might notice this list overlaps with the list of deadly diseases millions of Americans battle.

Take heart! Nature has given us another way to enjoy sweet treats. When you crave something sweet, have an apple, carrot, peach, banana, tomato, or blueberries. Remember to avoid the sugar in meat too. Choose bacon and sausages with no sugar added. Our bacon has 2 ingredients (hickory smoked pork (or beef) and sea salt) and it's absolutely delicious - one of our best sellers! Our breakfast sausage is mouth watering and it has ZERO, ZIP, NADA sugar or sweeteners. Once you give up the added sweeteners, you'll quickly realize that food doesn't need it to be delicious.

If you'll be traveling on vacation, we can help overcome the urge to buy junk on the road. See our Sugar Free Snacks, Meat Sticks, Sausages, Franks, Brats, and more on sale in our Summer Vacation category or browse our Sugar Free category for more ways to cut out the sugar.

All the Best, Team USWM

As an alternative source of red meat, grass-fed bison offers health advantages, not only because it contains a lower total fat content but also because it adds a great ratio of Omega-3s to Omega-6 fatty acids and much higher CLAs.

July 2024 Featured Chef

Our sincere Thanks to our Featured Chef for July, Danielle Cochran. Danielle is a recipe creator and author. She hosts The Salty Cooker food blog and has recently written a cookbook, "Craveworthy Baking", available on her site. Danielle specializes in developing delicious gluten-free and dairy-free recipes. Danielle has shared some amazing recipes, kitchen tips, and inspiration throughout the month.

"Around 22ish, the Food Network was becoming popular. We lived in northern MI at the time and there wasn’t a lot of dining options. I would binge watch my fave chefs and started to play with techniques and flavors. I purchased a cookbook/technique book that you get in culinary school and studied this book front to back. I found cooking/baking/grilling a form of therapy and just went deep." – Danielle Cochran

This week, Danielle prepares her recipe for Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin. This is a seriously gorgeous center piece for holidays, family gatherings, or a fabulous gourmet dinner.
