not surprising to me either. I've recently become an all organic eater (as much as humanly possible) and I've totally cut out EVERY BIT of high fructose corn syrup and aspartame (do you know how hard that is to cut that out- that stuff is in EVERYTHING).
And you know what? I don't have crazy sugar cravings like I used to. I still have some organic cupcakes every now and then, and have some organic, naturally sweetened sweets, but I don't have NEARLY the cravings I used to before, and when I eat it I am satisfied with one or two bites. My tastes have changed. I find those "food like substances" that I used to eat before kinda unappealing now (but mostly I think it's because I know what's in it and it ooogs me out).
Interesting...
p.s; confession time: I'm no angel. I DID have a banana split last week. First one in many months, but I wanted it and it tasted dang good. I still like my crap sometimes, just not as much as before.
