While this may seem like the perfect solution to reconcile a sweet tooth with good nutrition, eating foods that are artificially sweetened may be worse for you than the real thing. First of all, removing sugar from something doesn’t remove any of its other unhealthy substances like fat or refined carbohydrates. And the process of artificially sweetening may actually introduce chemicals into a food, which could lead to upset stomach and diarrhea. Plus, artificial sweeteners also may make you crave more food. We know – pretty confusing. So we’re just going to keep eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, and then when we i...

I’ve decided that the baggage that comes with midnight on Halloween is a welcome addition to the mix. After all, if you can’t think of anything else to write about, you can write about those Hershey bars (with almonds) that your husband has hidden somewhere in the house. Well, knowing that I’d eat them until I made myself sick, he had a good reason for hiding them. We just have enough for the kids in two of the neighboring houses.

Why raw chocolate? This site lists a few “health benefits”; apparently raw chocolate is an antioxidant and has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) superior to that of prunes, blueberries, strawberries and spinach. I know “the other Orac” (over at Respectful Insolence) has had his hands full fending off anti-vaccine woo-mongers and putting the Post-Modernists in their place, but Orac on ORAC: That could be worth a box of See’s Candy.
