“You Are What You Eat”

I want to thank you for sharing your message, and thank you for the work you have done. I will do my part to spread your message and help with change.

The old cliches ring true – “you are what you eat” & “the body is a temple” – I too was ignorant in the ways of eating and never took the time to read an ingredient label.

Although there is no cause nor cure, I can attribute a diet heavy in aspartame and artificial additives to my battle with Crohn’s for the past 10 years.

I’m not perfect, but I can now proudly attribute my remission for over a year to my diet. Thank you for leading the charge.

- All my very best, Scott
