I'm truly interested.....

Re: Sugar overload
Good point Bob (re your last but one post). It all depends on people's taste buds I think and a 'sweet tooth'. It's not easy to ween yourself off sugar quickly but it can be done.Similar to smoking.
Sweeteners can be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar, hence the size of these little pills. Nobody's still sure if they are any worse for you than sugar though, although I have stopped taking them as a precaution.
Again, we can use the comparison of tobacco vs. vaping....but please, let's not go into depth about smoking in here

Yeah, I can understand that in a way Foxy, but I don't crave a lot of sweet things, I don't like 'em.
I could try to cut out the sweeteners though, I only have one so it shouldn't be too difficult.
I have never been happy about the Aspartame anyway.

Yes Floydy, going cold turkey is the best way if really want to cut out sugar.
Eventually you won't miss it as your body adjusts.

I love the stuff.....Always have......And there's nothing wrong with me!......
