If you browse the healthfood isle at any grocer, there are sweeteners galore that aren't bad for you. Or you can add applesauce to your oatmeal too.Jen Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273467926507505310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218892.post-40077567380966228452010-05-09T17:33:18.654-04:002010-05-09T17:33:18.654-04:00hey jen i have a quick question... i've always...hey jen i have a quick question... i've always used splenda but recently i've started getting MASSIVE headaches... after going through my WW journals, i'm finding that I've been using more splenda lately (ie: on my oatmeal, in my tea/coffee, etc) Do you think the two could be related?? i went to trader joes today and bought stevia bc i remembered reading it on your site... any ideas?? thanks so much! :)Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400214396233183393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218892.post-20840834450342195282010-05-09T15:13:35.819-04:002010-05-09T15:13:35.819-04:00Alessandra- you are so sweet!
