Chlorine? I was always under the impression that chlorine is not so good for ingesting. My GF uses Splenda; I've tasted it, and it "tastes" okay. But I like real foods as much as possible. Real sugar being one of them.

For the record: I eat red meat, bacon, eggs, real milk (not that watered down stuff), half and half in my coffee, and a plate of brownies (from scratch) and a gallon of whole milk is manna from heaven for me. So I do have a sweet tooth, I don't indulge it daily, but when I do, it's real sugars.

I still have a 32" waist, weigh 175 or so pounds, and am 5'10", and am in my upper 40's.

Wieght means nothing bud.

What are your A1c/lipids and cholesteral levels.

I have a freind who is very tall and thin real thin and very athletic. Cholesteral way off the richter scale.

I am fat very fat and my cholesteral is perfect/A1c controlled by diet (yes I eat red bloody meat but in moderation) lipids perfect and no high blood pressure.

Not doing cardio excer the last year due to being in chronic back pain...MRI coming up next month
and being checked for Vit. D levels (live in PNW and nocturnal)

Me too. Everything I eat and drink contains the real stuff. It’s not natural to the body to do the fake crap, no matter what it is.

Me thinks someone doth protest too much on this thread. :-)

Chlorine in the form of chloride is a safe and natural element present in many of the foods and beverages that we eat and drink every day. It is in most natural water supplies, and is also found in lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, melons, peanut butter and table salt.

Like you, I eat what I want and enjoy many of the same things. I don't want them to find Lean Cuisine in me if they have to do an autopsy. Life's too short. I wish we wouldn't protect our sugar industry so we could pay less for it and the food industry would use it more. Coke made with sugar is far and away better than what's available today. It's even better when mixed with a little Jack.

We may share the same tastes in food but, unfortunately, we don't share the same metabolism. I do however, remember having a 32" waist and weighing 185.
