some people who give up sugar give up fruit too since it is fructose...I just don't think that if God didn't want me to have sweet fruit He wouldn't have given us taste buds....and wasn't it fruit trees in the garden of Eden?
but really, fresh fruit off the tree is so much sweeter then candy and so very delicious! If I could have fresh fruit all the time I might forego sweets. and there's the other natural sweetener - honey!
