I read your blog post and it is so true! I was one of the obese people a year ago. Lost 45 lbs. by eating right. Less eating of the processed foods, ate whole grains and lean meat, and lentils. You see what prompted me to change my eating ways, I was told by the doctor that she wanted me on statin drugs. I told her I would change my way of eating instead. I'm so glad I did! Feel so much better. I really like your ideas and recipes. Thank you! Skinny Chef, you are so right! I read your blog post and it is so true!

You can read more about the link between high fructose corn syrup and obesity rates on my <a href="http://skinnychef.com/blog/high-fructose-corn-syrup-bad-for-you" title="high fructose corn syrup" rel="nofollow">blog post</a>.

I've wrote to companys when I see it in the nutrition information on their packaging to let them know that it doesn't need to be there. The most recent one was frozen mixed veggies with a garlic seasoning (wasn't a white sauce) so I thought it would be OK, read the package and there it was! the high frutose corn syrup! in vegetables! Do you think the high frutose corn syrup contributes to the rising obesity rate? I see a number of processed food with the high frutose corn syrup in them.

It might not have an aftertaste, but saccharin has be proven to cause cancer in rat trials so I don´t reccomend it. If you can´t do without I would try and limit it as much as possible.

It's the only one, to me, that tastes natural and doesn't leave an aftertaste, nor does it leave any side effects.

I have been using sun crystals, wondered your take on them? it is a blend of stevia though. I read somewhere that stevia is natural..but not after it is chemically altered for our use. Hm. I need to check more on that. Have a great day! Char I love your blog..It is very informative. I have been using sun crystals, wondered your take on them? it is a blend of stevia though.
