Good question, Pat. I started my research into nutritional support with Dr Andrew Weil's Anti-inflammatory diet, which lists sugar as inflammatory. Noted neuroscientist, Dr. Daniel Amen, recommends getting off artificial sweeteners because they "lie" to the brain which is waiting for the real stuff so it's never satisfied.I'm currently reading Anti-cancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD who recommends natural sweeteners (fruit, honey, agave nectar). But it's hard - just ask my sugar-addicted husband. I'll keep reporting what I learn!
