OhSue: Have you ever tried "Stevia"...my friend had breast cancer and went through chemo and other treatments in a "spin off-type" program from Cancer Treatments of America. The program required her to take mega doses of vitamin and food suppliments and she could NOT eat anything white, or things made with sugar. Her doctor told her Stevia was a good substitute. While she was in chemo for 7 months we did her evening meal for her so she'd make sure and get a meal. She was 80, widowed and lived alone so when she was sick, she didn't feel like making anything to eat or even trying to figure out what she COULD eat. For that 7 months DH and I cooked for her and ate everything she ate...we could npt tell the difference between sugar and Stevia. It's kind of spendy but give it a try if you haven't already....my friend is now 88 years old, living with her daughter in the mid West and is doing very well. Her cancer has gone somewhere else!
