Good morning Sdh! Didn't mean to forget ya, was just taking my sweet old time posting and we must have crossed posted!

Good morning!
I am still drinking coffee. I must figure out why my cat is waking me up during the night. Really, I think it is a control issue for her. She will do anything to wake me up.

I have reached my morning quota....now to put some food in my belly before my blood sugars get all crazy and give me the shakes! Back later!
I was going to suggest locking her out of your bedroom, but I remember when I had cats they'd just meow outside the bedroom door!

I must confess....that rice pudding I made the other day was awful....I wouldn't share it with anyone. Way too much rice and not nearly enough pudding. That'll teach me to try an easy sounding recipe! Never again.

I looked up some new recipes, and may try another. Hopefully this next one turns out well. I want some yummy rice pudding!!!

Earlier Tracy posted up some Diet Coke info....I'd been hearing bad stuff for a while and I read that post......Aspartame or something like that...Over 86* it transmorgifies into methanol and or formaldahyde...Hey now just excuse the spelling....Transmorgify???? I own every Calvin & Hobbes published!!!!!!!! Anywho I'd been on the Diet Mountain Dews and switched too Diet Coke...There's an open one right here...I drink @ 4 gallons of RO filtered water a week and one hell of a lot of Diet Coke...Guessing I'm a caffine addict as well....I've been noticing some random numbness and unexplained loss of balance...Aspartame converts to ethnaol or methanol I can't remember exactly...Loss of balance is a symptom....Son of a .........Looks like more life changes are on the way....

What really grinds my grits....FDA approved....Son of a ...........................Now I'm more than sure the FDA knew all about this long ago.....Big corporations PAY and it's OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info Tracy !!!

Happy to help ElDee!!!

I cannot have any artificial sweeteners of any kind or I get instant headaches, so I'm always real careful about reading labels. I've known about the dangers of aspartame for quite awhile, but thought it was definitely worth a repost when I saw it again this am. If it helps one person, then I am happy.

Sucralose and Crystalline Fructose are other no-no's, and get this....they put it in drinks that are supposed to be a healthier choice, like Vitamin Water, gatorade, etc. Makes me crazy!!!!!

LOL @ grinds my grits!!! OMG I may have to borrow that one. Love it!!

You almost couldn't pay me to drink a diet sody pop. I've been suspect of that stuff ever since they came out with it.

And as for regular sody pop, I'll bet if it was just coming out on the market today that the FDA wouldn't approve it.

I don't touch it either.

She hangs out with a new crowd now. You can find her at the Beach thread in the lounge.

Too good for us now. I see how it is.

Hey LD, DH and I are also DMD addicts. You should talk to Matt (MWA) here at ECF. He had major health issues for two years that were puzzling all of the docs he saw. He finally figured out on his own that his issues were coming from the Aspartame in his beloved Diet Coke. He has a post about it in the Health section and I have talked to him at length about it.

If we knew 1/2 of the bad stuff that was in our food and drinks, we may never eat/drink again lol I do not seem to have any issues from it although I do know that it is not the healtiest thing to drink.

Like I said, I would bet that if you knew 1/2 the stuff that they put into our food and drink, you would grow your own veggies and drink lots of water only lol

Most likely the reason that so many diseases are on the rise. Food additives.

Wonder if you need the vitamin C?

I believe that down to my very core!!! I try not to come off as an alarmist, or a freak (lol) but it really makes ya wonder. I also believe that additives to our cookware/food storage for ease of use has contributed to many diseases. (plastic/non stick)

Second batch of rice pudding is share worthy!!! Woot woot!
