Maybe it's just human nature to ask "why" when we've got a challenge to make it through. Lately, I've been asking myself this question. Answering the question is important if I want to continue the challenge.
Looking for information on sugar, I came across some websites that give some compelling, well documented arguments for natural sweeteners. Here are a few:
