Re: Sweeteners

I'm afraid whatever you buy has got some sort of sugar in it, whether its Cereals, Milk, Bread, Yogurts etc. I have never added sugar to anything in my life also I don't use sweeteners, have tried it in the past but they have an after taste. Just cut down on the sugar is the best way to go.

Re: Sweeteners

I haven't used sugar in ages, I've also taken tea and coffee black for many years. The only milk I've started taking lately as part of my diet in 200ml of semi-skimmed with 45gm oat bran around three times per week.

I don't take any form of sweetener and I seldom drink fizzy pop unless it's a splash of tonic water in the (now) occasional gin. My sister drinks copious amounts of diet coke in the belief that it's `better for her` ignoring my warnings that the stuff is just as bad for causing diabetes as taking ordinary sugar.

Re: Sweeteners

Can't remember ever having a fizzy drink in my life, I've never wanted to try them.
I don't know what it is, because I can't honestly say I don't like them if I've never tried them, but I just don't fancy them I suppose. We never had them as kids, so I suppose it never occured to me.

Apart from tea and coffee, if I am thirsty I drink water, or diluted Elderflower cordial mostly.

That frankly amazes me, Mups.
You've never had a can of Coke, or even lemonade as a child? What did your parents give you to drink?

Re: Sweeteners

I'm not adverse to having sugar in tea or coffee if the place I am visiting doesn't have sweeteners. I always use sweeteners (Hermasetas) when at home though and have done for about 25 years.

I drink plenty of diet Asda fizzy orange with artificial sweetener in it too. This produces marvellous belches that need not be suppressed if there is no company around.

Re: Sweeteners

I love the taste of coca cola but rarely drink it, it tastes so good it just has to be bad for me......

I've taken sugar in my tea all my life and it's never done me any harm.........Well except for two Heart Attacks...

I posted the same comment in the smoking thread....So was it smoking or too much sugar?....
