Fabulous photo.
That white scrap, it's not from one of those artificial sweeteners, is it? Say it isn't so. You know they contain Aspartame (even the name sounds fiendish) and are very bad for you.

Loved the Sacred Geometry site especially.

Dear Natalie-

In my rush to rassure you that I would NEVER ingest a substance as malevolent as aspartame, I googled Splenda,(as pictured) a completely NATURAL sweetener, and found the Sucralose Toxicity Information Center, which warns that my thymus glands, liver and kidneys are all in danger. I am going cold turkey today, since I need all the organs I can perserve.

Stevia is the only recommended sugar substitute, if one feels one must succumb to the demands of one's artificial sweet tooth.

Thank you for prompting this exploration into the shadow. D

Personally I think sugar is the best sugar substitute, brown, and in moderation.

Ah Natalie, moderation is not my forte.
