ron: I don't care about the bag or what it says (though I've heard of it). I can't bare to look at the homemade cookies!

Anyone want to send a care package to a soldier of the Lord (who isn't harming anyone), the address is, Ron estrada, PO BOX 192, Puli, Taiwan 545. If the cookies r good, I'll never forget to stop praying 4 u ! :-)

arealchange: Beni did you know Xylitol is good for ear and sinus infections?? Chewing gum with Xylitol helps remove pressure... it's a sweetner with ALOT of nice benefits!

arealchange: ps... Beni I LOVE YOUR NEW AVATAR!!!! I desire to be a hot Grandma bringing heaven into earth with my baby grandkids just like you!!!! Love that pic!

beni
ladybug: I used this in the place of sugar. The cookies turned out good. The texture was cakie like. yummie.

I've never heard of the nose thing Real. But, I do use their gum. It the only gum and mint I use.

shelly: thanks, beni, never knew this existed...be a great substitute for home canning...btw, i agree with sandi...you do Not look like a Granny...you're amazing!

Rachel
rachiebee: Beni, I have been looking into stevia...do you use it at all for sweetening? Can it be used in baking? My mom bought some xylitol, and I heard it's great for your teeth.

at 02:20PM 08/08/08

Lorraine Box
lorraineb: Srevia has a bit of an after taste. You can also use Guava Nectar (Trader Joes). I'm anxious to try the xylitol. Great looking cookies Beni.

Sylvia Bumatay
sbumatay: So would this be good for someone who is diabetic?

at 07:32PM 08/08/08

Rebekah Lynch
yambo: My Naturopath told me to use this and nothing else. It is expensive though!!

C Jane
jane: Thank you so much Beni! I called our local health food store, and they have it all: the sugar substitute, gum and nose spray :)

at 12:08PM 08/09/08

beni
ladybug: not sure about the diabetic thing. I think so though. check online. Agave nectar is good for diabetics.

at 12:23PM 08/09/08

Rachel
rachiebee: Stevia is also...you just want anything that rates low on the glycemic index. I have heard that Stevia is good when you get it without the fiber added (like Stevia Plus or something like that)...I think the added fiber gives it that weird bitter aftertaste, but I could be wrong. It's supposed to be really good. I wonder how honey/agave/stevia/xylitol all rate on the glycemic index. That would be interesting to see!

ron: Did anyone pray in cookies for me? The other day I was sitting in church and my pastor's wife walked up to me with a big box of a variety of big hand made cookies. Moist, thick, and the chocolate chips were big and juicy. I've never seen cookies like this before in this country in 5 years. So if it was you who prayed them in for me, thank you so much! God bless you! Please let me know who you are! XOXOXO :-) LOL I'm not kidding! WoW!
