There are loads of different ones here - just plain condensed fruit cordials (healthy), right up to ones loaded with artifical colourings, preservatives, flavours, sweetners, and which have probably never seen a piece of fruit (obviously unhealthy).

I find it very easy to follow, but then well I dunno. Once you get into a habit... and I also drink beer and wine, not so good.

> MSG is bad news....it isn't supposed to be 'healthy'. Its a *artifical* flavour enhancer ( as opposed to say, salt, herbs etc) that tricks your brain into thinking that what you are tasting is more tastier, than in actual fact it is - its an actual chemical compound that does this.

Completely off the subject, but I had to tell you that I woke up this morning saying your name in my mind. I kept thinking where do I know that "word" from and then it hit me....the "babble boards". I love your name...it sounds like a song in my head and makes me smile. I just had to share that with you...These "posts" may really be having an affect on me (ha ha).
I better add something "alternative" to this post or it will get moved (as it should, Dr BOB)...but I am saying something "alternative" right now (see below).
I heard on the US news this am that the "think tank" people are thinking of spraying a substance that will slow or eliminate harmful bacteria from growing on Americas packaged meats. It would not be listed on ingredients or label as it will be harmless. How can something that gets sprayed to kill harmful bacteria be harmless I am wondering??? It is making the saying "live food,l ive body" sound more and more appealing. Too bad I have a NY strip steak ready to grill tonight. But at least it hasn't been sprayed, or has it?? If they don't have to tell me , how do I know?? I too, shop the Farmer's Market where all the vegetables have their original shapes and blemishes; just like me. Happy thoughts today Meri-Tulli!! What a beautiful name!!
