X is for Xyloses

Okay, so the letter 'X' was a really hard one in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge and it only sort of conveys a want, a need really, that I have on my bucket list.

xyloses - n. - A sugar extracted from wood or straw; used in foods for diabetics

I don't really want to use this sugar.  What I really want is to be sugar free.  I feel like I have such an addiction to sugar.  I crave sugar.  I crave white bread and potatoes and rice that are starchy that all turn into sugar in the body.

I've never liked artificial sugars like aspartame or sucrolose.  I don't really know what xyloses might even taste like.  I just think a sugar free life would help my system get  back to a healthy state:  a normal weight, less aches and pains, and more energy.
