BACK TO TOP PASTA AND NOODLES
There many varieties of pasta and noodles. In general, flour products are more mucous causing than whole grain, and should be consumed less in cold weather. Most pasta is made from wheat, sometimes called durum or semolina. If avoiding wheat, there are many wheat-free choices listed in this section. Be sure to read the labels on packages: some may say "artichoke or buckwheat noodles," but they will also contain wheat. As a rule, whole grain organic pasta is better than refined enriched white flour. The varied colors we find in pasta often come from tomato, spinach, parsley or beets.

BACK TO TOP SWEETENERS
I have found in testing hundreds of people, that a concentrated natural sweetener, called stevia, is well tolerated by about 90% of people. It comes in powdered or liquid form, a pinch or few drops in a bowl of hot cereal or in a little lemon and water makes it taste like sugar, without the side effects. It is a lifesaver for many who have to avoid all sweets and fruits, there are even stevia cookbooks on the market. Look for it in the supplement section of the health food store. Known as stevia rebaudiana by botanists and yerba dulce (honey leaf) by the Guarani Indians, stevia has been incorporated into many native medicines, beverages and foods for centuries. The Guarani used stevia separately or combined with herbs like yerba mate and lapacho. Fifteen times sweeter than sugar, stevia was introduced to the west in 1899, when MS. Bertoni discovered natives using it as a sweetener and medicinal herb.		With Japan's ban on the import on synthetic sweeteners in the 1960's, stevia began to be seriously researched by the Japanese National Institute of Health as a natural sugar substitute. In 1994, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permitted the importation and use of stevia as a dietary supplement. However, its adoption by American consumers as a non-caloric sweetener has been very slow because the FDA does not currently permit stevia to be marketed as a food additive. That means that stevia cannot be sold as a sweetener (all sweeteners are classified as food additives by the FDA). Moreover, stevia faces fierce opposition by the artificial sweetener (aspartame) and sugar industry in the U.S. Stevia, however, is more than a non-caloric sweetener. Several modern clinical studies, have documented the ability of stevia to lower and balance blood sugar levels, support the pancreas and digestive system, protect the liver, and combat infectious microorganisms.
