I wonder how do they know it's cane sugar as opposed to beet sugar.

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

Artificial sweetener tied to weight gain

I don't use artificial sweeteners. If I drink soda, I prefer to cut it with roughly an equal volume of seltzer or club soda. I don't have diabetes. Thank You, God.

I have read somewhere that Aspartame is difficult for the body to break down, and converts to formaldehyde on its way out of the system. If true, this would explain why Aspartame makes me feel ill. Formaldehyde isn’t one bit good for you.

I have read elsewhere that those wee white pills that alcoholics take to make themselves ill if they consume alcohol work because they convert alcohol into an -aldehyde, which makes them feel violently ill, too.

That’s what Aspartame does to me: I get a wicked headache right between the eyes followed by a crook-in-the-guts, and after 30 minutes max I’m Captain Cook for 5 to 6 hours at least. Crook as a chook, and I’ve got my head in the toilet and the room is spinning. Not funny! Not funny at all!

(lucky thing they don’t make beer out of Aspartame else I’d have a real ethical dilemma!)

Look at the carbon isotope ratios in the sugar...
