Sweet choices

I like sweet things. I enjoy sweet, fruity flavors and chocolate truffles. I use sunny dew(sunrider's herbal sweetener) and a bit of honey in my mint callie tea and my peach fortune delight. Honey has alot of good in it, and sunny dew balances your blood sugar, feeds your pancreas and liver and makes you happy. Tasting delicious does not have to be bad for your body!

I always knew sugar caused difficulty in several body systems, but as bad as sugar is, it's not nearly as terrible for you as the stuff they sweeten "diet" drinks with. Aspartame has been shown by alot of different research to cause many diseases, cancer and neourological disorders.

If you MUST have a soda, regular is not as bad as the poisonous DIET kind with aspartame. If you google it, you'll find many sources to check. One I found is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqIFDoOwSFM . The conclusion to all of them is easy: ASPARTAME is BAD.

Be careful when you see a bright, flashy label that says SUGAR FREE. Check the ingredients. Other scary artificial sweeteners are nutra-sweet, equal, phenylalanine. It only takes a second, and after reading a few of those lengthy, hard to pronounce lists you might just lose your apitite for that sweet snack and go for a banana or an apple after all.
