I have lots of headaches and obviously this would be a good place to start changing my diet and see if headaches improve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173489789295024007.post-31772224829595141202012-03-28T07:54:59.459-07:002012-03-28T07:54:59.459-07:00Hi Gigi -- came across your blog from your post on...Hi Gigi -- came across your blog from your post on Snack Girl's blog. This post here really struck me. I've recently made it my mission to get my mother off of artificial sweeteners. She was consuming up to 10 (!) packets of sweetener a day. I would love to know where you are citing this information from so I can pass to her for a bit of education and to make my plea more concrete. I had wanted to get her off the sweeteners only because I believe in a whole food diet and knew that artificial sweeteners can't be good for you -- I had no idea it affected one's health in the ways you state. The reason your post caught my attention, is that my mother actually suffers most of the symptoms you listed -- fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, IBS, bloating and digestive distress, muscle pain, depression, weight gain, just to name a few. And her doctor's just seem to push more medication on her! Well I successfully got her off (or limited) the artificial sweeteners and onto sugar in the raw (I also don't advocate 0 calorie sweeteners like stevia). I'd love for you to share any articles with me. My email is lecyda@gmail.com Thanks! So glad to have found your blog!Leah Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260524392292927322noreply@blogger.com
