There’s no reason to give up your favourites, whether that’s flavoured yoghurt, white sliced bread or cookies. The key is to make them yourself

Mamma mia, here we go again (again)! Consciously staying well away from the doom-scrolling tomes about UPF's, as the "Bake Off" DIY approach is more fun, and lot more tasty and satisfying!
The article contains examples and general ideas, so if you are sugar-free, consider substitutes like Stevia natural sweetener, so don't eat chicken/meat/fish, then consider substituting with tofu/tempeh/seitan/quorn etc!
I'm still undecided about very low sugar Kombuchas (Cher's favourite tipple!) as like alcoholic drinks, sugar is required for fermentation for probiotic good bacteria and associated health benefits (sweeteners cannot be substituted here), so maybe just like fine wine, it's case of moderation and measuring exact amount of sugar overall, as I have found the chilled organic Kombucha bottles have 1 or 2 grams of sugar, far less than bottled beer or wine or dried fruit by comparison, and if you exercise and have short walk or count your steps (stairs never lifts!) it's easy to burn off the calories from few sociable alcohol-free bottles of Kombucha again in moderation, with concerned Diabetes Nurse voice reminding you to brush your teeth and take all your meds and check your levels and pay your penance with lettuce leaves and water rations for next 24 hours (certain my DB used to be Head Nun - Shame! Shame!)
I absolutely adore all of the comedy geniuses behind the Comic Relief parodies, this has to be an all-time favourite, look it's Cher! Look after yourselves and happy healthy baking!
