I wouldn't count on being "forgiven" if you eat that yack
Here, you want "appalled?" That nice brown tone on your pretzels?
Pig urine. Usually the cheaper brands; it's right there in the ingredients-
-where of course, they call it "urea."

Me, too; my first advice to "die"ters is usually, "toss your diet, and come take a little walk with me; up Mt. Sopris"
I don't care if it takes one a year to summit, as long as they try; every day.

Anyway, never heard of "sucanat," hmm;
I came in here to hype this new soda maker thing?
They are about $100, I think, but they are awesome,
and will carbonate anything! We had a blast making
our own Sonic-style cherry-limeades this summer;
paid for itself. Carbonating milk is not recommended, tho...

No not IN OUR FOOD. They use stem cell materials to TEST food

The problem I have is that Stevia makes it too sweet and those mixes don't seem to have much flavor. Never thought I would find a sugar substitute that would make things too sweet!

The best sweetener I've found is called NuSweet. It is Stevia and can be found at healthfood stores and at GNC Nutrition Centers.

I've never heard or seen that. Target sells Agave nectar pretty cheap

[bbyrd009]

I wonder if a lot of those don't just end up being more expensive forms of sugar;
I thought agave was one, but didn't know it was lo-cal?
I am thoroughly convinced tho, that considering
reaching for lo-cal = you aren't active enough.
