Dr. Sharon Moalem See book keywords and concepts | Nobody knows more about sugar and freezing than the food service chemists at 7-Eleven who were in charge of developing a sugar-free Slurpee beverage. In regular Slurpees, the sugar is what helps to keep the frozen treat slurpable—it prevents the liquid from completely freezing. So when they tried to make sugar-free Slurpees, they kept making sugar-free blocks of ice. According to a company press release, it took two decades for researchers to develop a diet Slurpee by combining artificial sweeteners with undigestible sugar alcohols. | Dr. Steven R.

You can also make your own trail mix and keep that handy—although it's not a meal, it'll keep you going for an extra hour or so.

Essential Daily Habit #2. Eat at Regular Times
Pressures at work and home, and being short of time in general, can sabotage your best intentions to eat well.

Aspartame, the chemical with the brand name NutraSweet that is found in many candies and sodas, is non-nutritional and is not absorbed into your body. But the bacteria in your gut will attempt to treat aspartame the same way they treat lactose, and the sudden introduction of large amounts of the artificial sweetener into your system will produce huge amounts of methane gas. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | But there's another problem with sugar-free soft drinks: people seem to feel that saving a few calories with a diet soft drink makes it permissible to indulge in high-calorie foods such as pizzas.

Natural foods are usually simpler, less-complicated foods and meals. Health foods are any food that's healthy, in contrast to blatantly unhealthy foods. | Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | The suits allege that the food companies committed fraud and breach of warranty by marketing products to the public such as Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, sugar-free gum, Flintstone's vitamins, yogurt and children's aspirin with the full knowledge that aspartame, the sweetener in them, is neurotoxic. Although such lawsuits can last many years, they bring an increased awareness about the fraudulent practices of the pharma-medical and food industries to the unsuspecting population.

By avoiding sugar you will cut out most additives, by about 80 or 90 percent.

It's now time to turn you into a Savvy Sugar Sleuth by unmasking the 10 most common food-label misconceptions that may have you fooled. Here's the scoop that it took me years to discover:
1. BOTH "REDUCED SUGAR" AND "NO ADDED SUGAR" MEAN THE PRODUCT HAS NO SUGAR.
WRONG. | Craig Pepin-Donat See book keywords and concepts | Have you convinced yourself that eating sugar-free or fat-free snacks will prevent you from gaining weight? If you are like most people, your eating habits have put your health at risk and you may not even be aware of it. Many people think they are eating a healthy and balanced diet, but they are not.
People tend to "nibble" or "graze" on these low-quality food sources as a result of depression, boredom and, in many cases, ignorance or apathy. | | Consider the impact on the health and vitality of the population when we include the infamous snack attack with the increased consumption of low-fat, fat-free, sugar-free and low-carbohydrate foods. These foods have tricked people into thinking they can eat more and still lose weight. But they do nothing to support weight loss or weight management; in fact, they are among the primary contributors to the obesity epidemic. These foods are processed, engineered and filled with man-made chemicals. They are addictive and harmful to your health. | Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | As they embark upon their sugar-free adventure, they're stunned to discover that vegetables and fruits, nuts and grains such as cherry tomatoes, red peppers, jicama, carrots, yams, fennel, brown rice, almonds, strawberries, and blueberries taste delec-tably sweet and flavorful. What's more, they're often taken by surprise when, within days to weeks of giving up sugary "treats," their former favorites lose their appeal or even taste overpoweringly sweet.
Such was the case with Jodi D., 36, of Park Hills, Kentucky. "Before it was 'the sweeter, the better. | | LOW FAT" AND "FAT FREE" MEAN "SUGAR FREE."
FALSE. Low-fat yogurt may seem like a healthy choice, but it's possible that it still contains as much or even more sugar than its high-fat counterpart. For example, at last look, a 6-ounce container of Stonyfield Farm organic low-fat strawberry yogurt contains 22 grams of sugar while the strawberries and cream whole milk version has the exact same amount of sugar. Meanwhile, the six-ounce fat-free strawberry offering has two grams more sugar, topping off at 24 grams. | The Editors of FC&A See book keywords and concepts | | Enjoy sugar-free candy after meals to get saliva going.

• Lose weight if you're overweight.
• Quit smoking and limit alcohol.
• Wear loose clothing.
• Ask your doctor whether the medications you are taking could cause heartburn.
• Raise the head of your bed 6 inches.
• Sleep on your left side, which seems to be the best position for preventing heartburn.
• Avoid heavy lifting and straining.
For frequent heartburn, these tips aren't enough. "If heartburn's happening more than twice a week," Wang warns, "you should seek medical attention. |
