There are also 2 different flourides. 1 good, the other not. It is important to understand that there are two different types of fluoride. The naturally occurring form of fluoride, calcium fluoride, is not toxic, but this form of fluoride is not used to fluoridate water, and is not used in toothpaste. The salts used to fluoridate your water supply, sodium fluoride and fluorosalicic acid, are industrial by-products that are so notoriously toxic that they are used in rat poison and insecticides. This is the fluoride that is used in your water supply. that is my take on the above, while looking for wheat free foods.' Thanks for the grocery list.

But you're spot on...sugar is in everything, from packaged juices to packaged snacks. Have you noticed that once your palate changes once you've cut back on the sweet stuff though? I now notice how deliciously sweet a sweet pepper is now, all by itself! This is great advice Monica - thanks for sharing!

A mashed banana in hot cereal, like oatmeal, provides a lot of sweetness (the mashing allows the sweetness to evenly distribute throughout the cereal). Also, for a sweet and delicious treat try a frozen banana. I wrap mine in eco-friendly wax paper and pop in the freezer for a few hours. You can also place it on a small skewer first. The flesh is creamy and refreshing. The dentist advising against fruit is frightening, however be sure to brush teeth after sticky fruits like raisins and dates. They can be contributors to cavities for sure. The banana is one of my favorite ways to add sweetness to foods.
