Wow - thanks for the link. I'm not a sugar eater, as it raises my blood sugars to horrifying levels -- but my hubby and son do.

Speaking of dangers - don't be fooled by the new Sierra Mist Natural. You'd think it would be natural (whatever that means), but when I looked at the sugar load, it was chock full of 37 grams of sugar for 1 12 ounce can!!! That would put diabetics in a coma for sure.

It's all about reading labels isn't it?
