If you do not add table sugar or honey or sweetener to your bran cereal, does that count as not having sugar?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep!! But definitely check the ingredient label of whatever you are eating to check if any sugar has been added.
It's not uncommon for me to be juggling multiple drinks at one time. What's your favorite for a little afternoon pick-me-up? #hydrate
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I usually have a thermos of hot water, a coffee, and a seltzer at one time. It's a little crazy but it keeps me hydrated!
-
marynfulton2 Oh my goodness, those are all typical for me too @Rachna ! Except at night I swap out the coffee for red wine 😊

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Sometimes I like to drink a smoothie with a frozen banana, almond butter and chocolate protein powder to hold me till dinner.
What's Your Favorite Childhood Junk Food Memory?
Food writer Bee Wilson believes that it's easier to connect over junk food than home cooked food from our childhoods. I though this was an interesting idea from her book First Bite. What do you thi...

DietID_TeamDietitians Favorite memory by far was sneaking to dunkin' donuts to get a donut with leftover allowance money. I did this way more often than I'd like to admit.

Brianne I thought taco bell was totally appropriate to eat, so my friends and I would go after a movie, or before a movie, or sometimes before and after a movie all the time. I associate it now with a time...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter @Rachna @Brianne Sounds so fun! My mom and I used to go to McDonald's during the summer, get Oreo McFlurries and eat them outside. I haven't had one in awhile but I might have to relive a memory ;)
Do natural honey (got it from a farm) contains added sugar?
-
Emy hi. I'm not an expert, but my grandpa used to say, that honey is good for everything!
Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :) -
bestekaracay Thank you and to your grandpa! I will use just a little bit :)
-
annefood Hey @bestekaracay ! While @Emy 's Grandpa is right that honey can have health benefits—local honey is said to help with allergies, for example (shout out to @Emy 's Grandpa!) honey does count as an...
Food Policy Action | Tell Congress: Reject electronic GMO labeling & demand mandatory, clear, on-package labels
act.foodpolicyaction.com
Proposed solution for labeling GMO food: QR codes? I mean no matter your feelings about GMO food, QR codes as a solution for anything, ever... Sorry. I'm biasing the discussion. Would you scan a QR...
-
sugardetoxme I have used a QR code once. So I'm with you. I'm curious what other folks on the farming, journalism and policy front think would be great solutions @SaraGassman @olivettefarm @Emmatellsfoodstories...
-
olivettefarm I've never used a QR code and I doubt most people would for their food. I think clear on package labeling is the very best option, but that will be a huge fight. In the mean time I think educating...

annefood So smartphone = no access to the information. People should not need fancy technology to be able to know what they're eating. And I guarantee a busy mother with a job and three kids does not have...
Is ginger ale considered soda?
-
Udi Yes. It has tons of sugar in it like all sodas.
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question! @Udi is absolutely right. Most commercial ginger ales are just carbonated ginger-flavored drinks however if you'd like an alternative, try making ginger tea by boiling water with...

bananazen92 Thanks!
Good meal vs Maple tonight. Good meal is winning in quickness & nuts over sugar filled cookie treat. What's your favorite healthy delivery spot?
-
redwood I didn't know about good meal. Good to know!
-
SimplySeema @redwood they are great! I like how they share nutrition facts and each ingredient used in their dishes.
-
sugardetoxme I hadn't heard of Good Meal either. It'd be nice to have a roundup of meal delivery options
