Table sugar is bad, but one spoon of sugar in your coffee once a day isn't going to make you gain 50 lbs. Nor is sucrose/sorbitol/saccharin/Splenda very good for you either. 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 agree! I would rather have the real thing in moderation than have a bigger amount of the substitute junk.

What really bothers me about some diets is that they prefer you to have the artificial sweetners instead of a limited amount of real sugar. What if for any reason you can't tolerate or chose not to have it?
