Re: Sue/Artificial Sweeteners

No, , I was not offended. Deciding what to ingest is indeed a

personal decision. As a diabetic, I know that sugar is poison to my

body. Not just sugar, but starches that turn to sugar such as potatoes,

rice, pasta, bread, cereal, etc. Even fruit I have to choose carefully

and eat in moderation. My body just does not metabolize carbohydrates

normally. As they say, one person's trash is another one's treasure,

LOL.
