Hi Angie,

Splenda is off-limits. From the recipes in her book, The Oil-Protein

Diet Cookbook [available on Amazon in paperback], Dr. Budwig used

primarily honey as a sweetener. She also suggested cinnamon, vanilla,

pure blackberry, grape, cherry or blueberry juices and even a high-

quality cocoa that has no additives. Of course, fresh fruits can be

added to recipes as sweeteners also. Dr. Budwig's goal was to get her

patients away from anything that is man-made or processed in any way

that is unnatural or damaging to the body. I've noticed that after

staying away from unhealthy foods and substance for a while, I rarely

even think of them. It definitely took a while to stop craving certain

ones that I liked. When I thought of them, I would also add the word,

poison, to the thought of unhealthy, so-called foods.
