Re: About Splenda - last post on it

[Guest guest]

Respecting VitaLady's wishes this is the last one here for me but:

Dear ,

You're welcome to go all persnickity on us on such a subject! In these days

of living in such a duplicitous advertising (and political) culture it's

paramount that we all be fully in our sovereignty about our health and well

being. I think one of the pernicious side effects of consuming the standard

american diet these days is that we tend to go numb, emotionally and

physically. Becoming more green and smooth with our Vitamixes will surely

help restore our self-awareness and our sovereignty.

Re: About Splenda

Not to get persnickity, but that response alone shows the dieticians

ignorance about recommending soda, when she says it is okay to " have a can

or TWO a day " . Most people don't realize that a " serving size " in a can of

soda is less than one half of the can-the " servings per can " label on the

back of a can shows that it is 2.5, meaning that the nutrition info

(calories, sugars, etc) is based on that amount PER serving-not the entire

can. I use a Sodastream home soda maker to make wonderful soda-you can

buzz up some fresh ginger, dates, agave nectar, berries, etc. in the Vitamix

to make your own flavoring, then carbonate plain water in the Sodastream to

add to it, avoiding the sugars, chemicals, or preservatives in canned soda.

I think there are others on the list that use the Sodastream too. I

sometimes see them on ebay and Amazon, or you can see them at

http://www.mymealmasters.com in the webstore.
