Jethro's World

Back in May I tried to kick the coffee habit, but it just didn't work. I went for about a week without it, but the haze was just too much -- I need my morning coffee!





As you can tell from my 0g Trans Fat entry, it wasn't the coffee I was trying to eliminate, but the flavored creamer. Well, after a few more months of downing this toxic sludge, I decided to take Tammy's advise and try plain old-fashioned 'cream and sugar' in my coffee -- but with a little twist. I use plain old half-and-half for cream, but instead of ordinary refined white sugar, I am using Sugar In The Raw. While the end result isn't quite as sweet as the French Vanilla flavored stuff I used before, the raw sugar does give it a slight caramel flavor. I have had zero problems making the switch, and I feel a lot better knowing that I'm not dumping trans fats down the hatch.

Remember folks, you want to avoid partially hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup and enriched white flour (look for whole grains products) -- your body will thank you for it.
