Of course I had no idea it was happening…Bay Area blogger fail. I have seen those Awesome Bars around and they look so good, it’s always nice to see a local company.

But the interesting thing is that NO ONE mentioned artificial sweeteners. Which I thought was interesting because no one suggested it as a sweetener. My personal opinion on stevia is that we really just don’t know one way or another since it is so new-there are no studies on long term effects yet! So like anything else I would say moderation is key!

Sigh, switch me schools please! You know you wanna be a sun devil 😉 Did the speaker talk about artificial sweeteners? I am a die hard Stevia addict. I know it’s derived from a plant, but I figure too much of a “good thing” can’t be THAT good…Hmmm, what are you feelings about Walden Farms products?

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recap Aurora! I learned a lot from your post. Who knew that so many studies were done by the food industry?

The whole metabolically ill issue?? I had no idea. That’s crazy. I feel like society puts so much emphasis on fat being bad- but what you’re saying is that thin can be just as bad, and I think people tend to associate a normal weight with perfect health. That is fascinating. Oh and the seasoned carrots thing? Genius!! I hope they use natural ingredients to season them though. Carrot sticks are my favorite snack- I love them with hummus.
