    I suggest you watch the documentary "Fed Up".... Very interesting angle on sugar.
    Personally, I say clean eating all the way!

    No thank you, I'd rather have actual science.

    As a diabetic type 2 in remission, I use artificial sweeteners almost exclusively. I can't tell the difference any more. Artificial sweeteners do not make me hungry. Intensive cardio makes me hungry.

    I have pcos and was told to use them by a dietician. I was so used to them that the taste of real sugar used to gross me out :-) if I picked up my hubby coffee by accident I used to gag lol

    These threads always make me wonder if I have defective taste buds. Sucralose, aspartame, saccharine, etc. taste fine to me - no bitterness or other surprising taste. So I don't really give a fig whether its in something I'm eating or not.

    I think it's a genetic thing, like the variances in how people taste cilantro. I can't taste ANY sweetness in any of the artificial sweeteners, just acrid bitterness. Plain yogurt tastes sweeter to me than a yogurt with an artificial sweetener. I don't think it's TEH EEEEEEBIL DEATH, but it ruins my eating experience, which to me is the greatest crime a foodstuff can commit.

    Try some plain yogurt with some honey in it =) sprinkle a little cinnamon. I use honey and cinnamon in something at least once a day and it's been great for weight loss! =)
