The Diet Logs

Here’s what I found this morning, while browsing through the list of feeds, newsletters and other regular blog reads that pile up every night: an article published on eDiets.com, about sugar, sugar substitutes and what is generally to know about them. Truth be told, I pondered first whether this was really a matter to go into the whole weight loss swing or not; however, considering that we’re more likely to get into these substitutes for dieting rather than health reasons, it may actually be the right place.

The full article can be found on eDiets, under the name “Sugar an Sugar Substitutes.” There would be a lot to tell about said article, that includes, among other things, a short Q&A part regarding “myths” surrounding artificial sweeteners, as well as other, less known little things such as the fact that using aspartame for cooking is not a good idea at all. Even though my own position on the matter remains “real sugar in moderation is always better”, I nevertheless found it an interesting read. It cannot hurt, right, to know a little more about these artificial products that are more and more found in our drinks and food.
