so, for 12 days, I ate no fermented goods, no sugar, no processed foods, and drank no alcohol. It was a cleanse supplemented by an assortment of Wild Rose endorsed herbs. The biggest AHA result was that I recognized a dependence on sugar - JUST LIKE when I was a kid and had to make a regular stop at the corner store. The other surprise was how common an ingredient sugar really is in everything we eat - pasta sauce, fruit juices, and so many other "healthy foods".
