It seems like every month there's results from studies showing the dangers of sugar substitutes. I know personally that I don't care for the taste of any of the sugar substitutes and most increase my heart rate. I use sugar and salt sparingly and I enjoy my weekly pasta meal. Moderation is the key for me. At 73 I don't want to eliminate the foods that I enjoy in moderation. I'm sure it's frustrating when foods don't agree with you. For all practical purposes I have eliminated pork and shellfish from my diet because they affect my digestion. When food affects how we feel it doesn't much matter why, it's enough to know that it does. Enjoy what you can and thanks for sharing.
