I wanted to let you in an a little secret about artificial sweeteners that many people don't know too much about. That is, Pepsi and Coke (now both owned by one giant company) are getting ready to take all artificial sweeteners out of their formula. Here is a link to the article I wrote about and there is a further link within: http://myyearwithout.blogspot.com/2008/12/pepsi-cola-co-listens-and-is-changing.html<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think you might be surprised how much sugar and high fructose corn syrup is in things....most all packaged foods have these ingredients, or other scary artificial ingredients. Scary because they are CHEMICALS and not even food! What happened to the good old days of moderation eating foods, not chemically derived variations of what once was a food product....<BR/><BR/>Whew, anyway, keep eating those fruits and veggies...I know what you mean about eating them and then you do actually lose your craving for sugary items. I've been without sugar all year so far! I depend on fruits more now than ever!My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.com
