Daily Thought. . . Pressing forward is to push against the adversity of life with courage and determination to succeed. We cannot press forward without a steadfastness in Christ, because that steadfastness makes us resistant and resilient to the forces pressing against us. —Anita R. Canfield, Perfect Brightness of Hope
"The New Year" by David O. McKay
The mission of the Church is to assist mankind to overcome evil, and to cherish the good. It teaches that repentance is an eternal principle of salvation; and the thrusting of our weaknesses and sins upon the Old Year, to be carried into the never-returning past, is but the practical application of this sublime principle.

Q: Are artificial sweeteners (sugar substitutes) safe?
A: Of all the artificial sweeteners on the market, sucralose (Splenda) seems to be the safest. It works great in cooking and can easily be substituted cup for cup. The other popular substitute, aspartame (also knows as Equal, NutraSweet, or Nutra Taste) is probably safe, but certain people with a rare disorder called phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid aspartame completely. Aspartame is made from two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Some people believe aspartame to be the cause of everything from headaches to multiple sclerosis to Alzheimer's disease. There is no scientific evidence to back up such claims. Besides, the human body is not that generic. One single compound is not the cause of all human ailments and diseases.
Anything used in excess can be unhealthful for our bodies. Personally, I do use sugar substitutes but try hard to do so in moderation. I prefer to use sugar substitutes in foods that are normally very high in sugar, such as beverages, maple syrup, or baked goods. I also use sugar substitutes to sweeten some cereals or desserts. Otherwise, I just go for a small serving of the real thing.
