Remember, Schwarzbein says NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS!! That means saccharin, aspartame, Splenda, NutraSweet, etc. They are toxic!!!
Try using honey or stevia. Stevia is an herb she talks about in her book. I bought some, and it's not bad. I use it in hot tea and oatmeal.

I have posted this in other threads, but I have found a vast difference in quality/taste of differing brands. One that I settled on is Sweet Leaf Stevia Extract by Wisdom Herbs. I buy the .9oz(25g) bottle at hf store for around $8. and it lasts for a very long time. It is best to start out using it with a light touch to avoid bitterness.

Don't forget, artificial sweetners also cause major SUGAR cravings!!! Stay away from it!!! :wave:
