Hi Beth, Yes I have already tried it, and even added a sweeter to it but it just was so tart and very bitter tasting that i couldn't use it any more I'm sure it must be me because ever since i had my BMT with all of the radiation and chemotherapy my taste buds are never the same.
Come to think of it, one of the only things that taste the same is cherry Snapple. Even Bryers cherry vanilla ice cream. However since my wife won't buy that because of the sugar content i settle for Bryers cherry yougert with little chocolate chips in it... Yummy! [image: Inline image 1] So maybe you might think that i am weird, well i guess that i am, at least for the time being. 18's, Marty On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 11:19 PM, bkbarney via CMLHope < [email protected]> wrote: > Marty, > > I am talking about straight cranberry juice, knudsons organic 100% > cranberry. no sugars, nothing but cranberries not from concentrate. you > have to dilute it, it's tart, no sugar added...since you use one ounce with > 8 to 10 ounces of water , it's only 1gram of sugar per drink..so it won't > hurt the diabetes at all!!!
