one of the biggest mistakes people make is eating fat free foods or the artificial sweeteners. Splenda is the WORST thing you could use for sweetener. It is made with aspartame and is super bad for you. they say equal is the best...but raw sugar is definitely the way to go. when you take the fat out of foods...you are replacing it with something else...usually artificial...and that is bad. you want to go with natural things...so raw sugar in
limited quantities is best.
There is a book called "natural cures they dont want you to know about" and it goes into detail about all of the bad things that are circulating our country these days. it's funny, because the book has been out for a while now. and a lot of the stuff is now being made public...even tho I have known about it for a long time. like the growth hormones in meats and dairy products. this is why soy milk is best (although i can't bring myself to drink it). they say that the growth hormones are what is causing young girls to develop so early in life. boobs on a 10 year old is common these days!! my daughter drinks the soy milk. I would rather not take the chances...and she likes it
