Hey sweetie...er...I mean Suze :-)

This is what is used in a lot of low carb junk products. Ummm...I would

avoid it based on my own personal experience. And if I remember

correctly, there were a number of posts awhile ago that gave it less

than an enthusiastic endorsement. Christie (), are you still around?

I think you posted a hilariously funny poem about it.

The *New* Ten Commandments

" They told just the same,

That just because a tyrant has the might

By force of arms to murder men downright

And burn down house and home and leave all flat

They call the man a captain, just for that.

But since an outlaw with his little band

Cannot bring half such mischief on the land

Or be the cause of so much harm and grief,

He only earns the title of a thief. "

--Geoffrey Chaucer, The Manciple's Tale

Well I wasn't asking because I want to *use* the stuff. LOL! I was just

curious what others know about it since my dentist recently told me about it

as well as the ND I saw the other day. I have ZERO interest in using it

myself. I love my really raw honey and really don't care for any other

sweetner but that.
