The most surprising place I have found added sugar was in canned peas.

I stopped eating canned anything. Peas are much better when purchased frozen in a bag.

Alcohol is the only form of sugar I haven’t given up. And I don’t intend to.

Yawn. So sick of all the chicken-little food nonsense.

it doesn’t come like that from the cane.

Did you ever try Vietnamese ‘mia’ (IIRC), sugarcane?

Short chunks of fresh sugarcane, peel it, cut a chunk off and chew. Chew until the sweetness is gone, spit the fibers.

Safe! no con chao(dog meat), or con ki(monkey).

I don’t drink a dozen sodas in a year, but when I do is with pure cane sugar.

It’s simply tastes much better

Way too much MSG.

Marco’s seems a lot milder in that regard.

I’ll have to look into that.

Stevia tastes kind of funny to me. Maybe it being cut with honey would help me handle the taste.

Thanks for posting. The key is timing, I have learned, and I am so thankful for Richard and Rachael Heller because their book, The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet has helped me so much. I have lost possibly 50 pounds (40 sure) and kept it off two and a half years, without dieting and all the while eating all the foods I love. So thankful for Dr. Fung and his very helpful work on intermittent fasting.

I have no cravings. I am never hungry. I eat cholesterol and my cholesterol is perfect. I eat fat and I am not fat!

Never tried it in Nam. Had some here in the states though.
Processed sugar manufacture is interesting to watch but
enough to make me eat as little as possible.

High fructose corn syrup comes from corn. Corn that has had it’s DNA changed to resist Round-Up weed killer, which has been found to be carcinogenic and also alters your gut microbes. That is what makes it a dangerous substance.
Read all labels before you buy processed food. If you must buy processed food, that is.

Some of you speak the truth. Some of you are full of sh!t.

Eat less, do more.

Swerve or erythritol is a zero calorie, zero carb alternative. I actually use NOW brand erythritol because it comes from organic corn. Swerve package says no GMO though. It bakes like sugar, doesn’t have the slight aftertaste of stevia and is easy to find. It is made from corn alcohol, so it is not an artificial sweetener like Splenda.

There’s no funny taste.

Properly extracted Stevia has a great taste. But this stuff tastes just like honey with half the calories.

... I won’t eat Pizza Hut anymore. The crust is too damn sweet!!!

Their sauce is also loaded with sugar.

In the last few years I've noticed that a lot of food has a lot of sugar, salt or both. I guess the thinking is that sugar and salt equals flavor and more is better.
