When in doubt, just go w/ limited amounts of the real deal rather than all this Olestra and Nutrasweet crap. Anything that causes "anal leakage" isn't going in MY mouth.

I totally agree swissmiss! Anything natural (in moderation) is bound to be healthier than something swimming in hormones and chemicals and pesticides and Lord knows what else. Of course I eat mostly organic - some things (such as chocolate, and alcohol) I make exceptions for. But its all free-range organic chicken, nothing with pesticides or hormones or antibiotics. I can taste the difference between organic and conventional, although unfortunately its really only possible to eat organic in the house - restaurants don't really cater.
