candida diet

well, lately my mom and dad are on a candida diet now. They did the same thing last spring and part of summer.
but oh well....... they didn't kill it off yet, though.
Oops, i forgot to tell about what candida is. Well, we all have yeast in our body's, but a lot of people have candida, which means you have too much yeast in your body (though most people don't know it). Sugar, is what feeds the yeast to get bigger in your body and grow more yeast in it. So to get rid of the yeast, you have to go without any sugar for three months. You can't even have fruit, since it has natural sugars to make it sweet. They also can't have wine, milk, and vinegar. Once again, these have natural sugars that will feed the yeast if you drink or eat some of it. Lots of people usually never kill the over dose of yeast, so we're really hoping that are mom and dad will be able to get rid of it........
But what do you know? We all had a bit of ice cream last night! We have a small ice cream maker, so we can make our own ice cream. Just to make sure my parent's aren't cheating, Ill give you the ingredients: heavy cream
heavy cream, its just a bunch of fat, and it's okay to have some, since it isn't actual milk.
next ingredient: vanilla
the next ingredient is: cinnamon
cinnamon is really good for you! So you don't have to worry about that either.
the next ingredient is: xylitol
you probably never heard of that, so I'll tell you about it. Xylitol is a sweetener, except it doesn't have any sugar in it. It comes from tree, (which i forget) and its really good for you and your teeth. It acts like toothpaste, kinda.
That's all the ingredients..........Oh and, the ice cream tasted like any store bought ice cream!!
