Both those links are now longer good. I use "Sweet Leaf" estevia and drink water a lot.

In his video about the three sweetners he does recommend (http://www.youtube.com/user/Chews4HealthInc#p...) Dr Friedman recommends Agave nectar, Stevia and Xylitol. He says that Xylitol is diabetic friendly. Has anyone else come across these products and are they as good as he claims?

This information on Dr. Friedman may interest you:

I would love to know exactly what his doctorate is in…I can't locate any medical school credentials…anyone know where I might get this information?

@ Dena: Pop of any kind is not good for you. you will not die due to a deficiency of soda pop, diet or otherwise.

I drink water, decaf green tea and almond milk almost exclusively.

this means it just got a little harder for us diabetic people.great news

The key in any diet is to stay away from processed foods
as much as possible. Venturing into the grocery isles is
asking for trouble. Truvia (stevia) is found on the grocery
shelves, and for me has had no side effects as splenda does.
Stop. Look. and Listen, is an old saying from years back
which holds true to todays lifestile as far as diets go. Stop with the bad, look for the good and listen to your body.

I think this guy must be making a bundle from the sugar people. So Splenda uses a lot of chemicals in processing sugar? So what? Almost all processed food use chemicals in their processing. Does that make all processed food dangerous to eat. I don't believe so. Also this guy says there are 3 sweetners that he endorses, but he doesn't have time to tell you about them. Sounds like another money making scam to me. You know "Order my book or CD to find out - Only $29.99" That's Garbage!

Ok you say Diet pop is not good for you. Then what are we diebtec suppose to drink in pop
