I thought that was quite an amazing OPINION and nothing more. All fruits contain natural sugars so HEY! lets steer clear of them too while were at it huh?

Sugars are carbohydrates (which are needed by the body to perform) and only contain 14 calories per teaspoon. Thats where moderation comes in. No complete cut off from the diet, Doctor.

I think that is true. Some peolpe think that “diet something” is always going to help. But sometimes it resolves as sickness, like you said.

Here’s my motto: “Everything in Moderation.” I believe that artificial ANYTHING is worse for you than small amounts of REAL things, like pure sugar. The problem with “DIET” anything, is that it is deceptive and misleading, so people think they can eat/drink MORE of it, because it’s “DIET”…so it’s really a catch-22; and people use it as an excuse to eat/drink MORE.
Anyhow, one other thing I wanted to state, was that I read a very good article about a woman who just woke up one day and couldn’t move or talk. Of course, she went and had all kinds of testing done, and it turns out that she was apparently developing MS. Well, her sister told her that maybe it was linked to all of the DIET sodas and crap she was consuming, and the woman listened to her and totally cut all of that crap out, and made a complete, 100% recovery. She definitely did NOT have MS after all. THINK about that, people. I believe (and I’ve even heard doctors say this before) that 90% of sick people in the hospital, are there because of their poor DIETS and LIFESTYLE. Americans are notoriously known for their bad eating/living habits, so it’s no wonder why we are all mostly OBESE and UNHEALTHY. It’s time to wake up, America!

I am working on my Science Fair Project. My project is on what do people most prefer, real sweeteners, or artificial sweeteners? And this artical has helped so much. If you guys have any more info on it, please let me know.

I have been watching my weight since 1997 when I was 206 pounds. I used
the artifical sweeteners alot and all the other diet foods. I got my weight down
to 136 pounds. I had brain surgery and went up to 150 and haven’t been able
to get my weight back down. I was told that the artifical sweeteners trick your
mind and they actually shut you metabolism down. I am thinking this is what
has happened to my weight loss. I use thousands of them in a month. I have
decided to start using real honey in my teas and stop the coffee all together
and see what happens to my weight loss. See if it starts going down again.
Using the artifical stuff isn’t worth being unhappy in my body.

Hey Dana, I was just on another site. A lady there said she used to get bad headaches when she started IF (intermittent fasting) She used to drink soda and the like. Turns out it was a magnesium deficiency from the soda. Now since she started taking a mag supplement, no more headaches. Something to think about, maybe look into. Hope that helps. Since I quit the morning cup of Starbucks, I need less sleep, and have more energy.

I think fake sweeteners are kinda scary. I also notice with real sweeteners that white sugar and corn syrup have a different effect on my body than honey and maple syrup. Sugar and corn syrup leave me desperately craving more. I’m not really sure why.

I like stevia the plant ( I grow it, dry it, and add it to tea one little leaf goes far!) but I’m not sure how I feel about the new forms now on the market. The one by Sugar In The Raw is part stevia, & part dextrose, which is a corn sugar. I think you’re better off growing it and drying it if you want to use it than buying the supermarket version.
