You speak the truth,and I agree with you . Isn’t it fascinating-not to mention contradictory- that ‘natural’ is always better EXCEPT when it comes to sugar? Then, chemical sweeteners produced in labs are better! Sugar is natural and 1000 times better for you than what a lab cooks up. After all, how can lawyers make money suing for using sugar?Artifical sweeteners and chemicals will be the next source of ‘call me’ commercials by attorneys.
If ‘natural’ is always good, how can sugar be bad?
I’ve switched to Stevia. From Splenda and variants like Nutra Sweet. Only need half a packet for my coffee.
Remember Alar (daminozide)and the Apple crop? Remember the 60 Minutes Hit Job? EPA or FDA classified it a “possible” carcinogen and then as “probable” carcinogen.
All this backed by studies that showed rats could get cancer if they drank the equivalent of 5000 litres per day of apple juice... All because ‘naturalists’ had it in for the producers of Alar. Same thing with sugar substitutes, salt substitutes and any other substitute that meant competition for some group who had vested interests in the ‘natural product’....
So now we’ve flipped the coin.
