UPDATE: Behold Part 2.

I’ve been waiting for this post for a long time…  Meghan over at Making Love in the Kitchen runs an awesome, informative blog.  If you haven’t checked it out, do it now!  Then add it to your blog reader so that you never miss a post again.  She’s knows her stuff and reading her blog has made me realize that I would like to take a more natural approach to my family’s health– as in I don’t want to vaccinate and medicate for everything known to man when a balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle is the way to go.  To clarify, I’m not anti-vaccine, but I will be more selective from now on about what I will and won’t allow me and my family to be vaccinated for.  Can you believe that my doctor actually recommended that I get the Gardasil vaccine?!  I’m really, really glad I said NO!  Seriously, I think they get commission.

Anyway, Meghan has finally posted about the evils of artificial sweeteners.  Anything with the word “artificial” in front of it should be a red flag– you can bet it’s not good for the bod.  To learn why, read this post.  Then go back tomorrow for Part 2.

Highlights:

1. Artificial sweeteners will probably most likely will give you cancer at some point.
2. You think making the low- or no- calorie choice will keep you from gaining weight when, in reality, it will probably make you fatter.

Yikes!!!!!!!!  Try drinking a sparkling water instead.  Squeeze a little lemon in there and voila!
