RB...THIS is why I've come to the conclusion that
IF I "splurge" on my diet, I would rather use the REAL thing (i.e. butter, sugar) instead of the margarine, splenda, etc. as it seems that all the "stuff" they put in the food to lower the calories and/or fat, we have YET to know what it will do to our bodies and while YES, it may be helping us lose weight, do we REALLY know what it is doing to our bodies that's why everything is "real". It just seems like all the low fat, artificially sweetened food (with fewer) calories MAY be doing us more harm than good. Well, I have to go now as I'm off to the market to pick up my 40lbs of organic blueberries (sounds like a lot, BUT I use them as well as other berries...already froze 25lbs of strawberries...in Diana Dyers phytochemical shake that I have every day) AND I'm splurging and making a blueberry cobbler...mmm. Take care and God bless.
