aspartame

I went to a health fair yesterday. I was quite humored to find they were giving away a high fiber cereal. It contained of all things aspartame. If you are not familiar with this product it is a poison. I can't beleive it was lurking in a breakfast cereal. A healthy whole grain cereal. I threw it away as soon as I looked at the ingrediants. I can't tell you what cereal it is right now. If I find another one lurking around then I will post it. Aspartame is in many low fat or diabetic foods. It causes aspartame poisoning. If any doctor tells you or someone you know that their liver and /or kidneys are shutting down, and they don't know why, ask them if they drink diet soda. It has aspartame in it. The unfunny thing about aspartame is doctors tell diabetics that it is a good thing. It doesn't have sugar. What they fail to say is it raises and drops their glycemic index. It could also kill you. A diabetic could use stevia a natural sweetener found at a health food store. It has a low glycemic index. An even better alternative to stevia is Agave Nectar. It doesn't have a glycemic index. Aspartame is even in bottled water. My advice is drink regular water. Selter water with grape juice,or some juice or a flavoring. You are better off drinking something with sugar instead of aspartame. If it causes tumors in labratory mice after their 30 day or 90 day experiments are over you know their just isn't something right about this product. It also caused fertility problems. Do you think this is a good product to market? If they weren't making so much money off of this product do you think they are going to say it is bad?
snippet for the day---Why is it that when someone tells you something is bad for you, your reply is usually," Oh, but that doesn't affect me?"

Sweetners

Agava Nectar
It has a low if any glycemic index. It is similar to honey but without the bitter after taste if you accidently overdue it. It also comes in different flavors. Hazelnut, ameretto, vanilla, irish cream, ect.. It is good in tea and I assume coffee since I don't drink the stuff. It is also great on oatmeal. So if you are looking for a sweetener that is good for diabetics or hypoglycemia try this sweetener. It taste better that stevia. It is better for you that sugar or artificial sweeteners.( ugh!!!)

Halloween

I am thinking about nixing the whole trick or treat idea this year. Well, my son actually says,"It's satans holiday and I don't want to celebrate it." Well, my other son wants to celebrate halloween. I am not sure that he really needs to go trick or treating since all of the candy he is allergic too. He really loves candy. He is addicted to it and if he gets it in his hands it is hard for him to resist. I asked them what can we do instead? My Oldest son said, " We can dress up in Biblical Character and tell people about the Lord." Great Idea except that I am not sure how that goes with weaving God into Satans holiday. I am not sure what to do? I want to create a loving spirit in my children. I do not want to discourage their little hearts and squish out the holy spirit working in their lives. Well, if anyone has an idea that could help let me know.
Snippet for today: God will provide a way. Sometimes , it may come from the most unexpected person or place.
