I saw this incredibly informative video on FaceBook. Gotta love FB.
What makes this video so awesome, is that it breaks down all the chemicals in sugar substitutes. It explains what those chemicals actually are, and what they do to our bodies. Chemicals like aspartame, acetone, methanol, among others:
What did I get from this video? Oh, just that artificial sweeteners are basically just sugar with chlorine, nail polish remover, gasoline, windshield washer fluid, and formaldehyde in it. Sweet (pun not intended, but welcomed:).
It's amazing to me how many "diet" cook books include these artificial sweeteners.
And I can't believe how much diet Dr. Pepper I used to drink. It's crazy.
Here are Dr. Freedmen's picks for the 3 best sweeteners:

A couple weeks ago we decided to put a patio in the backyard. When the patio was finally done, we realized they had made a ton of mistakes. Now they're having to tare it out, and do it again.
When it is all said and done, it will have taken them almost 2 weeks from start to finish. That's 2 weeks of not being able to let the dogs out back to do their business. That equals a ton of walking for moi. I've had to take them on a walk 4-6 times a day. sigh.
Moral of the story: putting in a patio is the best thing to ever happen to my diet and exercise plan.
