Sugar and salt aren't the enemy. Overuse of them are what's wrong. Using a sugar substitute is what's toxic. You can control your intake of sugar and salt by making more of your food homemade instead of buying everything prepackaged from the store. IT TASTES BETTER TOO. People who aren't sugar sensitive should not be turning to any food or drinks with sugar substitutes in the first place. It warps your tastebuds and makes you want things that are even sweeter than normal. It's unhealthy. Just look at how many people are able to drink a diet soda and eat something sweet at the same time. It's revolting. It's like they're drinking water with their food. They have no tastebuds left. Salt sensitive types, along with limiting their salt, should eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, raw nuts, and tea every day in their diet to get the extra potassium they need. Doing something simple as making your own popcorn in 1 Tbsp-2 Tbsp olive oil, heating just a little butter and olive oil together in a saucepan to top with, and salting to taste, can make a difference too. It tastes better than any microwave popcorn that's out there too. It's also healthier for you too.

Hey Dr. M. just wondering what the dangers of botox are long term, if you think it's a good topic to address. A friend of mine is a model and has been getting botox injections since she was 26 - she's now 32...will this hurt her in the long term? She has a 4 y.o. daughter and is thinking about having another child, will this ever be an issue to child bearing women? Just curious.

#20. Very true. Processed foods are horrible for you. I had a huge garden when my children were young. We worked it together. Occasionally they mistook a plant for a weed but we had fun growing organic. I canned or froze everything they ate until they started school. They loved it! As they got older their friends were mesmerized with the whole process as not many other parents canned in the early 80's. Even as they were teenagers, there friends came over and helped me can my signature salsa and loved grinding the apples for applesauce...I think they ate more than I froze!!!LOLOl, those were the daze...as Archie would say! So much fun, I miss it! One more fond memory was when the kids all got together and made their own Thanksgiving dinner...what a hoot!!! Eight teenagers in the kitchen...funniest thing was watching them trying to figure out what to do with the guts of the chicken, and how long it took them to peel a potato. Thank heavens one of them was an assistant cook in a local restaurant!!! Thanks! for the Memories!!!
