Processed foods and addiction
Yikes! On the net tonight I ran across this article and almost fell off my chair. This really hit home - I'm not cured of anything. I still am eating what I used to (processed stuff) just in much smaller amounts.

Have a look and comment. This is scary stuff.

Rudie, I absolutely agree.
I do try to eat simple foods. I try to limit food that have stuff in them that is "hard to pronaunce".
I do try to eat as natural as I can.
lately I even eliminated most food that have artificial sweeteners and flavors.
I still eat "processed' food: protein powder (all natural though), cheese, milk, yogurt, processed meat,etc.
But I gave up on most proetin bars, and other protein snacks. I bake my own protein cookies, and if I buy any "quick" food, I try to make sure that it has mostly natural ingrediance.
I also try to use a lot of organic foods. (when my budget allows and when I think it is important).
I use Stevia as a choice for my sweetener. I do not belive that things like splenda or other SF stuff is good for us.
