I have been eating 9 servings of veggies a day (not hard), taking a whey shake in the am with added Nonni juice, Yerba Prima (fiber) and hazelnut milk. Frozen berries in organic full fat yogurt for snack(YUM!). I eat organic when I can afford it, but ALWAYS buy organic staples; milk, eggs, coffee. I am very turned off by dairy lately and beef is next. It is not an intentional dislike, just something my body is turning away from. It doesn't appeal to me anymore. I used to be a DAIRY FREAK! Maybe it's the body's way of healing and I am just listening this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as saccharin, he said it is the most tested sugar sub and has been around for many years. He feels it is safe and all the hoopla was concocted by the sugar industry. Since I am die-hard conspiracy theorist, I tend to agree with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read something about the process by which they make Splenda (chlorinization or something) that makes it unhealthy...I hardly ever eat anything with sugar or sweetners...but when I do I use Suzanne Somers' somersweet, which is supposedly natural, but like one calorie. a box of 100 foil packets has lasted me 3 years so far and I have only used I think 10 packs....if you search hard enough, you can find damning evidence about almost anything I suppose.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 The reason that sugar is so bad for you is that it is processed and in the processing all that is natural in cane sugar is removed...it has absolutely no nutritional value what so ever. Actually there are many things that fall under this catagory. Anything processed/white. White flour, sugar, salt, rice, cereal anything " enriched " actually hurts your body more than helps it. Anything that is bleached also. If you must have sugar, there are many alternatives that don't have nutra sweet or sacchrine. Pure cane sugar or sugar in the raw, Another natural one is Stevia. For those of you that are hypo glycemic or diabetic Barley Malt is always an excellent choice because it allows your blood sugars to raise more evenly and to lower evenly...no sugar spikes and not sudden drops. I hope this has helped. All must understand a very simple rule....Any thing processed or white has a saying: Anything that is White is considered White Death! These products that are processed this way are killing people and it is a slow death. If you have any more questions please feel free...the best way to eat is all organic/natural if you can afford it. The best sugar is sugar in the raw, the best salt is Celtic Sea Salt (excellent for adrenal fatigue too), the best rice is organic brown rice, the best bread is anything that has live sprouts and is flourless (Ezekial bread) The best flour is all organic from whole wheat. If you have gluten problems flour is to be stayed away from all together unless you can tolerate Spelt flour ( it is excellent for gluten problems) and makes a pretty good pizza dough. There are many recipes on line for spelt flour and ezekial breads. Hugs Patti Sue 29:11 Re: SUGAR I'd rather eat sugar than an artifical sweetner. Those can be even more dangerous.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 The only one I feel good about is Stevia. I use it my one cup of coffee, in any tea I drink, and in my morning yogurt concoction which when anyone sees it, says it looks GROSS!!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 By the way, when I watched the last interview done by Larry King with Dr. Atkins, Atkins stated that it was ok to have one to 2 packets daily (or a small amount--can't remember how much) of what I consider the worst of the offenders--Sweet and Low. He stated it was a better choice than Aspartame, at least. BUT, he didn't mention Splenda, nor Stevia. Wish he had lived longer!!

I thought that has no aspartame but only saccharin...and I give it to my husband in his coffee to get him off sugar for years now....now I am worried. Maybe sugar is better? I can't break him of needing sweets in his coffee. I do know Dr. Atkins (I saw that one too) said sugar is toxic...not really, but it's a good way to look at it.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I agree.. fat I can deal with.. but chemical adjustments from artificial.. that is something different.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Sugar is often something we crave with weak adrenals... Janie.. we should spend some time working you a bit away from the sugar cravings... Have you ever taken the carb addicts test?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi Janie, A lot of the Atkins products out on the market (including his low carb. ice cream) contains Splenda. I have tried Stevia but thought it had an after-taste. If it is better for me though, I will go back to it. Nutrition is a challenge. Thanks, S. > By the way, when I watched the last interview done by Larry King > with Dr. Atkins, Atkins stated that it was ok to have one to 2 > packets daily (or a small amount--can't remember how much) of what I > consider the worst of the offenders--Sweet and Low.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I've read so much about Stevia, can't wait to try the samples you sent.. but there is nothing that I drink that needs sweetening... I might just have to hang on to it to sprinkle on some fruit.. but I'm really not even used to doing that anymore... I've gotten so that I adore fruit plain.... Even my peppermint tea I drink straight... never got into coffee and fruit juices I dilute with water to make them stretch... but it's here as soon as I find something! heheheeh Topper () On Thu, 15 Jan 2004 16:38:58 -0000 " loboshe " writes: > The only one I feel good about is Stevia.
