Want a boost to your diet?

Try hanging around the entrance to McDonalds and watching the customers.
Not counting the teens and small kids, most of the customers are over
weight. When they go in they look anxious (hungry,) when they come out
they look irritable.

They have taken in more than their day’s need in salt, which has raised
their blood pressure. Depending on their excess lard they are waddling
candidates for a stroke. If they are lighting up a smoke they are even
better candidates.

Another diet motivating tip is to see the grocery carts loaded with pop,
pushed by over weight people. I see some folks on this forum are still
guzzling pop and trying to quit it. That’s a good plan. The caffeine and
sugar content is fairly high and the diet stuff uses aspartame or
similar sweeteners. Anyway, it doesn’t do you any good and the above
mentioned shopping carts should provide mute testimony. (Or is that moot?)

What do you think of saccharin? I love it in smoothees. I find that fruit
smoothees need it as the frozen fruit is tasteless.

I use stevia. I believe it's the only grown sweetener (not man made from
chemicals)- about 80 times sweeter than sugar. If you use too much you
get an aftertaste. Been around many years and studies say it won't hurt
you. Sold under the name NuStevia as a food supplement.

The two largest soft drink companies are trying to get it thru the FDA
so they can use it instead of aspertame. A friend of mine who owned the
US franchise for Canada Dry ginger ale clued me in, in the '70's, but he
had to use sugar by his franchise. He would buy it by the trainload,
much to the consternation of the commodities market. [He would speculate
on the commodity market, where commodities don't actually change hands
usually, then call for delivery of sugar. Practically unheard of.]
Anyway, he - (a microbiologist)- was always trying to get Canada Dry to
change to stevia.
