Chocolate Oreo Cake

I was going to stay out of this discussion, however, I just have to defend them. Paul is my husband and Katheranne is my daughter. They are a bit overly adamant on this, perhaps not being able to hide their emotions. You see, we just lost one of our dearest friends, and then my Aunt in the same day. Both of them were very overweight, and regardless of attempts to teach proper eating habits, chose their own paths. Dying of cancer at 70 (my Aunt) is horrible, and dying at only 44 of a massive heart attack (our friend) is just insane! So, please excuse their emotional outcry, but I think it is understandable!!!

The young lady who did this recipe is trying to help. For that, she should be commended! Let me help a bit more, by trying to make sure the cake has all natural ingredients and is therefore more healthy for you. I will try to figure out what can replace what and give you an option. Please give me a while to figure this out. Personally, I would like to see you eat only a few bites of cake with a lot of calories, than a whole plate of cake with few calories, but a lot of poisonous chemicals. While it is true, that dessert is eaten infrequently, these chemicals are all over our "food" supply, slipping into your body by many different sources. Over a very short period of time, every cell in your body is affected adversely. Here's an analogy for you: You can ingest or absorb a little arsenic every day and die slowly and painfully. Please watch: Killer at Large: Why Obesity is America's Greatest Threat You can view it on Netflix (Watch it now), or own it. www.killeratlarge.com Be prepared, though. It will make you angry, especially when the Surgeon General talks about how he was forced to edit his speeches on the rising threat of obesity in America! And then take a look at the movie All Jacked up. While you are at it, Food, Inc. is a great reference movie as well. www.naturalnews.com is a great resource and www.healthitude.com is our family site to help people learn more about healthy eating.

What we are trying to avoid: ALL Hydrogenated oils, MSG, Sodium Nitrates, Aspartame (and other artificial sweeteners), High Fructose Corn Syrup, bleached flour and refined sugar.

In the meantime, I would love to help figure out how to change this recipe into a healthy one, so that you can have your cake and eat it to! What is the soda pop supposed to do?

Please do not get upset with us. We just want to help. We are going through a particularly painful time right now. And we don't want anyone else to suffer this way!!!!

WoW! This is considered diet food? Whom ever came up with this recipe and called it food has no knowledge about nutrition. Just because something does not have a lot of calories does not make it diet food, or even what I would call food for that matter. If you want to lose weight to become healthy you have to not just limit calories, you must also eat food that is healthy for you. This may have few calories, however it also has little if any real nutritional value. if you want to lose weight don't go on a "DIET" eat healthy and excersize. If you want to learn a little about nutrition you should check out www.healthitude.com. They have some great information on ingrediants you should avoid in your diet. and some info about what you should be eating.
