I realize this is important to you and I am not knocking your views. But for me I have few options for a diabetic but to use the artificial sweeteners. It is an issue we have discussed and will not be changing any habits.
I do try to limit how much I drink tho.
Hey Rhonda- my husband is working on low glycemic ice-cream. He has a couple of friends with diabetes and low-glycemic products have not spiked anyone's blood sugar. It's really exciting and I know there is more going on with research all over. He worked for a large company for many years that made all the garbage I spoke about and he's now passionate about making healthy stuff :D
