I found this article about sugar vs. sweeteners that I found really interesting. I thought I'd share it here:

    Interesting stuff there.... I had decided NOT to use artifical sweeteners and to just cut back on my real sugar. I have cut my sugar consumption almost completely out, just 1 tsp in each of 2 cups of coffee in the mornings. But I have noticed that I still go over on my sugar allowance daily. So I even though I am not getting sugar directly, I am learning that it is in almost EVERYTHING I eat! Mom told me this morning that she found fat free, sugar free whole wheat bread this morning, going to have to try that!
