THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: It was such a pleasure to be able to listen as this conversation was being recorded with Dr. Uma, who is really blazing a trail on treating emotional problems with food instead of medications.  So many great tips and recommendations backed by scientific evidence and research. I would urge anyone who thinks that eating artificial sweeteners is healthy to listen to this podcast along with all of the other information you will gain from this episode.  My favorite quote: "whole food isn't one that comes with a nutrition label."
