I am a pop corn fanatic. I went to the store and bought some that
has "SPLENDA" in it. It’s sweet, but an acquired taste. I am on
Metformin meds right now and it sends me running to the bathroom but
when I eat this popcorn it has the opposite effect on me. Is this
normal for diabetics? Any ideas how to make it tasty and yet not
devilishy bad for you?

sandwiches," writes Gail Nonamaker of Saluda, North Carolina. "Best
when made with fresh garden ingredients, this sandwich is low in
fat, packed with vitamins and is a meal by itself when served with
