What, if anything, do you use instead?

Hey Look!!! 11:11!!! make a wish....
Anyhow, maybe I wasn't reading thoroughly... When they do test such as this, they are talking about MASSIVE quantities of this stuff, right?
I don't specifically subscribe to all the sweetner talk, but I use Splenda. Depending on who you talk to and at what time, Splenda is good and bad for you. As time goes on, the best things are doing to be bad for you sometime. At least, that is how I look at it:) If it is my time to go due to over consumption of splenda, then that is how i will go.
This is intersting though. I think for every research Q& A against something , you'll find an opposite reaction elsewhere.

Anyhow, I'm in your neighborhood, kind of. It's rainy here in S. Ga (which is pretty much N. Fl). I was going to the parade in jax to see a couple of my kids march, but ya know what? I am off today! lol.
I'll be there with you until Spring... lol. My start of the spring is St. Patty's Day in Savannah, GA! YIPPIE!
As for Splenda, while it is derived from sugar, it's NOT sugar. It has been modified by man and its structur has been altered, therefore it is hard to say what exactly it will do to your body. Don't get me wrong, I love Splenda, too, but ultimately, if this is about making a healthy lifestyle change, then why are we consuming processed foods and artificial sweeteners. From what I understand, mannitol is a better choice, but I have not done any kind of research on it myself.
Just because something doesn't agree with the SBD or Dr. Agatston doesn't mean it's not valid or not true.
That's fine.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion and to make their own judgements based on that.
I was in the Gator Bowl Parade with a Red Hat group. We were pretty crazy and won the judges specialty award. Woo Hoo!
My official start of spring (regardless of the calendar) is the Palm Sunday weekend art show in St. Augustine. My energy problem is time-of-year and beach withdrawal related. I am solar powered. ;-) It was drizzling here this morning and is still overcast. Yesterday, was sunny and in the upper 70's. We've had it so good compared to up north that I can't complain.
I haven't been to the St. Pat's. Parade in Savannah in probably 25 years. Even back then it was pretty overwhelming. My best friend lived there for 11 years, so I used to go up that way a lot. We even went for part of our honeymoon and stayed on the riverfront (Factor's Walk). There used to be a wonderful bakery there for many, many years called Gottlieb's that had the best ever bread pudding, but I heard it closed down. We're thinking about taking an overnighter up that way sometime soon. We also like Fernandina Beach and St. Simon's Island, but usually head south.
