Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes, As I am Diabetic and have been since I was 11 years old. I'm not overweight and was not when I developed it. I was 78lbs and 5'2. Anyway, I have to use sweeteners. And I must say their is lots of hype about how bad they are for you. But, when this is all you can have, it is what you use. And I think they taste great. Many of my friends have even switched to diet coke after being around me for a while, just for the fact that regular sodas contain so many empty calories and sugar.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I use Splenda in my cereal and drink Diet Coke.? When I bake, I use real sugar but usually less than the recipe calls for.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Definitely not! Also, do not drink diet soft drinks because they have a very toxic additive called Aspartame in them more often than not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy Best wishes, Dario Western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sensational. I posted it. You would never know that it was black beans. I used artificial sweetener, but it can be used with sugar. I avoid sugar. My doctor has recommended I use Stevia, but that it is very strong and I am not sure how much to use. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 no, i use raw sugar, mint leaves, honey and maple syrup. I finally figured out what my main migraine trigger is, ASPERTAME, so i'm a big advocate of getting it removed off the shelves. I prefer a more nature made approach to things, and my body seems to prefer it too. There are so many reports now leading me to believe that aspertame maybe a big contributer of memory loss and alztheimers (sorry my spelling is all over the place today).

Sometimes I bake cookies or flan for someone that is seriously underweight so I try to get as many calories in there as I can. Also, health considerations aside, I cannot stand the taste of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Absolutely not. Will never put man made chemicals into my body intentionally. With me a piece of fruit is sweet enough for me. Don't really eat sweets like cookies or cakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I noticed that there are 2 new stevia products in the sugar aisle in the grocery store (Hannafords). I tried one named Purevia - it was OK. I needed more in my coffee than regular sugar for the same sweetness, but it didn't give me a headache like the old " dietary supplement " stevia I got at the health food store. I haven't tried nor can I remember the name of the other one. I tend to use sucralose for things I merely want sweet (coffee, etc.) and real sugar in it's various forms (agave nectar, sugar, honey, maple syrup etc.) for things that require the chemical interaction of real sugar (yeast breads, most baking actually). Regrettably, I have a massive sweet tooth and a predisposition for type 2 diabetes, so I think sugar alternatives are going to be part of my life whether I like it or not. The Purevia is a help though, kinda gives me some hope. Tameson in NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
