gwenth paltrow's sweet muffin

"The whole grain muffins are great even though they contain no sugar."--Gwenth Paltrow. from GOOP (her lifestyle website).

Gweneth Paltrow is a fine Oscar-winning actress but I'm not sure how much she understands food. Her recipe for banana muffins (and if by now, you can't find a recipe for banana muffins, then maybe you should just go buy some at the grocery store) doesn't contain sugar but it does contain bananas, maple and rice syrups, raisins, and nuts. Your body converts all these to sugars, which of course one needs, but from your body's viewpoint, sugar is largely sugar. Given the ingredients, it's true, Ms. Paltrow's muffin is sweet.
