Originally named RAT POISON. True stroy. You can thank Donald Rumsfeld for keeping you skinny sweet with rat poison. It is a serious neurotoxin- destroys the nervous system, don't use it. If I ever feel a need to add a sweetner I use stevia or date sugar syrup- which is loaded with vitamins and minerals btw. You can also make a carmel with dates for apple dipping.If you use honey, get Manuka- it kills cancer and is alkalyzing.
