I have a related question, if anyone feels like responding: How long can an open jar of jam or jelly be kept in the fridge before it spoils? (And how do you know when it spoils?)

I’m not a big jam eater, but enjoy it once in a while. However, I end up throwing out a lot of jam because I don’t know whether it’s still good after it’s been in the fridge for months.

Geneva, I’d definitely say that bariatric surgery qualifies as a medical condition. I was referring to those who assume that sugar substitutes are healthier, rather than analyzing their diets as a whole.

Thanks for this, I appreciate it.

People like myself who have had bariatric or stomach surgery have a medical need for not having sugar – I physically cant digest it and it causes a severe reaction – and having great people like you on side to help us out makes a great difference.

Keep up the great work!

I agree that no one should rely too heavily on sweeteners, but I think the same can be said for normal sugar as well. Trying to have sugars (or sweeteners) in moderation I think is the key. I love soda, and I don’t think a little HFCS will hurt me every once in a while as long as I maintain a healthy diet and active lifestyle otherwise…

Thank you so much for the link and information. I see we’re not the only one’s with a no sugar concern. It’s great to know that there are alternatives for Diabetics.
