The ADA isn't in a "business" at all. They're a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. If no one is diabetic, they'll just stop raising money...

Can yo maybe share some of the sources from the bibliography of that paper to support your conclusions? Please? And can you be more specific? In what way are you "better for it?"

He said research paper. At least when I was in school, papers needed to be sourced, even in speech classes. I'd like to see the sources too.

Everything is chemicals. It is impossible to not consume chemicals. And no one can "100% guarantee" you that anything, no matter how "natural," is "absolutely safe." Absolutely safe doesn't exist.

:heart: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :love: :laugh: !!!!!

Since this is all broscience, why bother posting it? Not one single citation in the whole thing and lots of patently false claims. Just for starters, most "artificial" sweeteners were not created by people trying to make something taste like sugar. Mostly, they were accidentally discovered by people studying something else.

I'm with you there. I've had mine about two years and I love it!

They aren't really comparable, as they are intended for different things. I don't think it's either/or.

I have this on a subscribe and save plan on Amazon. Great stuff! http://www.amazon.com/NuNaturals-Nustevia-Stevia-Maltodextrin-12-Ounce/dp/B00068PCTU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338519716&sr=8-1

Will they give you a second cup to split it in? Because I don't care how close I am to someone, I want my own coffee cup. I'm willing to pay more per ounce to get it, too. Though I'm not against oversized. I don't believe the government should be regulating adult behavior.

That isn't better, it's exactly the same. A portion is whatever they say it is. An ounce is an ounce is an ounce. Label a 32 ounce drink a 32 ounce drink and you've been honest. Label it 2 "portions" or 3 "portions" and I have no idea how big it actually is. No need to "shorthand" anything. If I want a 32 ounce drink, I…

^^^^THIS^^^^

I don't have an explanation for the OP, but my experience with FitBit, and I've used one for almost two years--since they came out--is that it'e spot on accurate for things it's able to measure.

Not to put to fine a point on it, but she has said TWICE that she has and uses a food scale. Why bother posting if you didn't bother to read?

I can't think of a single reason I would want to link MFP and Facebook...

It's government regulating consensual behavior, and it's prohibiting bulk packaging. It won't affect the problem it's intended to address, except maybe negatively.

How, exactly, is a "regulation on item sizing" constitutional? It is a ban. It's a ban on bulk packaging, if you like, but it's a ban. And the government has no business banning things that don't harm the person or property of a non-consenting other.

The "occasional cake" actually is good for you. Psychological health is as important as physical health.

Because dying of actual starvation is so much better than dying of an obesity-related illness?

Exactly. Prohibition DOESN'T WORK! Haven't we learned that in 100+ years of prohibitory laws? Alcohol prohibition actually INCREASED alcoholism rates!

Actually music and art are the first subjects cut. Nutrition can and should be taught in science classes. Just for the sake of accuracy.

I think the purview of government is not to regulate consensual behavior. What does not harm the person or property of a non-consenting other should not be the purview of laws. Period.

Without your credentials, which you have carefully made sure we did not have, what you write is just so many words as well. Unless you have credentials in medicine and nutrition and can cite the journals you've published this information in, it's unsubstantiated opinion. You would have done better to post links to the…

It's odd even if you don't think about it. Why would anyone care what someone else eats? What possible reason is there to look unless someone asks for advice? Even then, unless they ask about a diary entry specifically I seldom look. It's odd and it's creepy...

I believe you just did.

There's a whole cheesecake group?

Maybe this would be more effective directed at the "friends" who are behaving badly? My diary has always been closed, even to friends, because I don't accept unsolicited advice so there is no need to make it open. None of my friends has ever given me any advice I didn't ask specifically for, but I've been unusually careful…

?? What is that? Do you have a pic?

Me.

1200 cal/day is not "plenty" for building muscle. It will keep you alive, but it will not provide enough to build.
