Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I do everything in moderation too. I have used a little stevia in lemonade, I use a little raw sugar in my oatmeal, little honey and maple syrup now and then and I also consume a little HFCS when I drink 1/2 can of Coke a day and it's in a few of the other items I use. I cook from scratch so I don't worry about the small amount in my diet. I use no artificial sweeteners, I tasted it once in a Propel and tossed that thing out after one swallow.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I add two parts stevia, one part raw (turbinado) sugar.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I am behind in reading some messages, but I wanted to comment on this... Have any of you seen King Corn? It is a great documentary all about the corn industry as experienced by two men that set out to grow an acre of corn and watch where it went. I really don't believe that HFCS is any good for us, just as table sugar is not good (it is refined with no nutritional value). There is really no reason for HFCS to be in most foods we eat. I am trying to avoid foods that contain it, but it is nearly impossible, lest I no longer eat those foods. I pay more for bread that does not contain it, and I can honestly say, I taste no difference! I have also started to buy " fruit spread " rather than jelly. There is no sugar or artificial sweeteners in it, just " fruit syrup " . Tastes just as good as any jelly with HFCS and is, in my opinion, healthier. It is just sad that to be healthy, we have to spend more money. The cheap stuff that contains HFCS is at least half of the price of the stuff without. Just another thing that is wrong with this world....(sigh) btw...I & nbsp;started to buy Rapadura sugar. I haven't cooked anything with sugar yet, but was told by an extremely healthy vegan that it was the stuff to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
