As part of my low carb eating habits, I’ve had to find ways to reduce the amount of sugar I consume while still appeasing my “sweet tooth”. As you might imagine this hasn’t been easy. The fact is, like most people, I like a taste treat now and then in the form of something sweet.

You’ve probably already heard the news that a side effect of gastric bypass surgery is the curing of type 2 diabetes in some obese patients. It’s always nice when serendipity decides to pay a visit.
