Just to clear things up a bit, Jere (and the rest of you out there who
think I'm stupid for wanting to quit eating sugar), diabetes runs
heavily in my family.  My grandmother and all of her 9 siblings have
it, her oldest son has it and has been blinded by it, and on the other
side of the family, my grandfather has it.  Several doctors have
recommended to me that not eating refined sugar (you know, that grainy
white stuff they manufacture out of sugar cane and sugar beets) might
be one step towards keeping me from getting the family malady as well.

We decided to try it for 6 months or so to see if we could tell any
difference in the way we felt.  It has been one month now, and
actually, I feel much better--but I won't go into that now.

To those of you who simply responded with cookbook ideas, a hearty
thank you.  To the rest of you, why should you care what I want to eat
anyway?
