Jennifer... Funny thing ya should bring this topic up... I've gone thru several "sugar phases" in the 24 years I've had PD. Generally, I try to watch my intake of sugar, however, when I go into the occasional "gimme sugar NOW mode," it seems like I HAVE to have something sweet at that very moment!! Usually, I don't sit around thinking about needing a "sugar fix," but WOWIE - when I DO start craving it, I'd go to the ends of the earth (or to the nearest market - whichever is easier to do at that moment) <smile> to get a something - ANYTHING - sweet. Uhhhhh.... my FIRST choice, when it comes to eatin' something sweet is Haagan Daz Coffee Mocha Chip ice cream. YUMMY! (and I exercise GREAT will power by not buying too often, 'cause I'm afraid once I start, it'd be hard to stop) <sigh> Barb Mallut (AKA "Sweet-tooth-Parkie) <grin> [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Jennifer Smith <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, April 15, 1999 1:35 AM Subject: PD and Sugar >A friend of mine has a brother who was recently diagnosed with PD.
