my cousin is spouting some wonderful untruths this morning. just a few gems for you: (oh and all her friends believe her because she goes to the gym. BLAH)
-fat free/low fat cheese has less sugar than normal cheese (since when did cheese have sugar in it??!!)
-eating a fibre supplement (metamucil, benefibre) will stop your gut from absorping green vegetables..

Eating late at night takes the absorbed food and turns it directly into fat which is why you shouldn't eat after 7pm.

Sorry in advance but I have to dork out a little. Cheese may have sugar in it. Bacteria will "eat" the sugar (lactose) in milk in the normal cheese making process, but the bacteria doesn't necessarily eat all the sugar so there may be some left. How much sugar is left in the final cheese is very dependent on what type of cheese you are making/eating, though likely very low it might still be there. I realize this is nitpicky of me.0

hmmm ... so many. sodium is the devil and sugar is the devil's evil little henchman. but you can't eat artificial sweeteners, either, unless you want to grow an extra appendage before dying from cancer.0
