Sometimes it seems that Americans are fighting a losing battle with their ever-expanding waistlines.  for many, the struggle with obesity can be traced to consuming too much sugar.  The average American takes in 200-400% more sugar than recommended each day, much of it coming from the number one source of added sugar in our diets - sodas.  diet sodas are loaded with slats, sugar substitutes and artificial flavoring.  Instead of drinking a diet soda, here are some healthier alternatives to "liquid candy."

Recommendations:

• Natural flavored juices
• Italian soda
• Used flavored Stirrings®
  • 1 oz is only 17 calories;
    only need half of a Stirrings® package to flavor
• Brewed Teas
  • Stirrings® can also be added to regular/unsweetened tea
• Cappuccino/coffee drinks with skim mill
