Yeah, but what the hell IS it??? It's not some weird chemical that we would never otherwise ingest? Safer than aspartame? No adverse health effects? Hmmmmmmmmm. I'll have to rethink this one -- I remember consuming it a few decades ago and having a weird taste in my mouth so I never drank anything with that in it ever afterwards.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 My .02 cents on this saccharin discussion. I would think that if someone is still addicted to some form of sweetner, and still must have coffee, then saccharin is the lesser of all the evils. But if someone is able to or already has given up all sweetners, then there is no need for saccharin. Most of the things in which it would be used are not necessary foods anyway. There is no need to sweeten the foods in the Eating for Recovery or Paleolithic eating plans. However, if someone is otherwise healthy, and not dealing with candida or insulin resistence, and if all their other food is on track, then I would think a small amount of truly raw honey would be okay. I hear it makes a nice snack in plain yogurt. Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Don't forget stevia...it's an excellent, safe, natural sweetener.

Perhaps someone can check what I posted and re-post it. Thx. I don't recall if I mentioned Stevia in it.
