Thanks for the list. Dave

I hate prepackaged stuff! I've been considering starting to make everything from scratch...ketchup included ;-)

2

Great information. I will usually cook from natural products I have to cut and prepare. I do have lazy days sometimes though and we occasionally eat packaged food.

1

Hey Jennifer;
go to my budget chef website and read the post, "Thinking outside the box(es)". Please, please avoid packaged foods. You'll see what I mean.

1

I agree...packaged food is convenient but no good for you!
Thank you for listing all the names. I wondered about erythritol. I bought a baking blend sweetener...Truvia-stevia leaf and sugar blend but from the first taste I didn't like it, reminded me of aspartame so I don't use it. I checked the ingredients and the first one is erythritol.

1

That's what they use to give the Truvia© its crystalline texture.

1

Thanks for the great information you provided.

1

Wow, makes sugar looks like a sweetheart. NOT. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I am definitely staying away from any artificial sweeteners. And only going to use Stevia. Thanks for sharing.

1

Read the labels - especially on Truvia©.

So, what is the matter with Truvia?

1

They use the sugar alcohol erythritol as a crystallizing agent.

So, what is the best stevia brand? All the stevia labels on the different brands look about the same to me.

1

Go to an organics store and ask for PURE stevia. That way the label will show only 1 ingredient - stevia. That's what I do.

1

OK, thanks. Have a healthy weekend, and have fun as well. :)

1

That rule of thumb is very good advice, Ian.

1

Tricky, ain't they, Ian? :)

1

Too much, I'm telling you.

1

That's pretty scarry! I'll never eat again!

1

Eat fresh and local. That keeps most of this stuff away.

1

Yes, that's good stuff!

1

Great work, I f I can not say it.I wont eat eat.
Have a great night.
