Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Glad I'm not Chinese cuz ain't gonna happen at my house. I'll stick with the almond & coconut milks for now & see how I do on those. Pricey tho so will have to use them sparingly & mixed with water for the most part. Except on cereals or in sugar free desserts I can eat.
