I did remember this thread being posted before - major deja vu for a second there .

I'm sure I actually read something recently about a major contributor the the rise in Type 2 diabetes actually being "diet sweeteners", i.e. Aspartame, Acesulfame K etc etc... they also apparently aggravate anxiety disorders. So basically if you want to beat it, you need to completely rethink diet from the ground up, rather than replace sugar with sweeteners, and other "low fat options".
