--- I have a substitution chart for E.V. olive oil which I switch for

butter in recipes. Works well for me.:-)

Fructose is supposedly a natural sweetener. couldn't prove it by me.

It actually drove my hubby's glucose levels sky high. And it was

recommended for him by an MD years ago for hypoglycemia. Now we use

organic Sucanat sugar, molasses or honey for baking. I find that I

need much less of these and they are actually more economical in the

long run.

7th. Since we have been eating this way I am down to my

wedding dress size (3-5) within a year after the baby is born. This

was not the case before eating correctly.

the other 3. My kids are rarely sick, and we all fell so much better

away from refined, processed things. It is easy, no controversy, and

I do not know of anyone who would say we are harming our body (why

take a chance with a fad?)

different opinions but no real facts.

products. I can not use butter, what else is there to use in baking?

I try to make sure my kids still have goodies, just healthy ones.
