          I've got a few days of no sweetners under my belt, but I have no true idea.

          I definitely know two days--I had a piece of gum a few days ago and can't remember when.... So, starting today with 2 days sweet free.

                              Challengers,
                              I am so pleased to see you all here. Fantastic! Time to clean out all temptation from your car, kitchen cupboards, freezer, fridge, pantry and wherever else you have stashed your sweetness. Begin familiarizing yourself(if you havn't already) with reading food lables for ingrediants. Look for hidden sugars that will come in the form of-
                              sugar
                              brown sugar
                              sucrose
                              fructose
                              corn syrup
                              glucose
                              corn sugar
                              dextrose
                              lactose
                              maltose
                              honey
                              invert sugar
                              concentrated fruit juice
                              sorbitol
                              xyletol
                              mannitol
                              barley sugar
                              malt extract
                              malt
                              monosodiumglutamate (MSG)
                              high fructose
                              corn syrup
                              mollasses

                              Watch for hidden sugars in dried spices and seasoning packets if you use them. Condiments can be loaded with hidden sweetners. Also Morton Lite Salt has Dextrose in it. I use sea salt.
                              If anyone can add more to the list, please do.
