Sorbitol Sweetener: Is It Safe?

>> Friday, February 27, 2009


I constantly see sorbitol listed as an ingredient for things and can never remember anything significant about it. I always have the feeling that it isn't all that bad, but it's not something I would choose either. This article seems to back that concept up. In a nutshell it's a sugar-derived sweetener. It occurs naturally but the form manufacturers use as an ingredient is created artificially. It does have fewer calories than regular sugar and is metabolized more slowly, but could cause digestion problems. I will continue to generally avoid it, which is easy for me because I don't like chewing gum or mints which is where sorbitol is used most.

Proverbs 14:22

>> Monday, February 23, 2009


Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find [a] love and faithfulness. ---- This is very comforting, and it ties into other verses in the Bible that support the idea of our God wanting us to do things for ourselves; those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness because they ARE love and faithfulness, and that will generate more of the same.

Taxes or theft?

>> Monday, February 02, 2009

A little something I read today:

[ If any random person came to your door and demanded five thousand dollars so he could use it for his own purposes (say, giving it to poor people), you'd probably consider him to be a lunatic. If he drew a gun and threatened you, you'd consider him a dangerous lunatic thief. The only difference between this person and an IRS agent is that we don't scream "thief!" when an IRS agent does the exact same thing, because, through indoctrination, takeover of many parts of society and sheer threats of force, government is given more legitimacy than a common thief. ]

Government is stepping farther and farther outside of its bounds every single day. Just because a charming, new voice has stepped up to the microphone doesn't mean anything has changed. Power corrupts - never forget that.
