Oh please, who paid for this study?
I dont know what side of this you come down on so I dont really mean to be directing these thoughts directly toward you and since most research shows exactly what the government paid it to show vigilant suspicion is always wise.
Honestly, dont care. I doubt that this is the first. Youll note that this was a few months back and I had already heard of this a way back already then so I doubt that this was referring to that study. (Im intentionally being vague timewise, injuries have left me unreliable in that area.)
The cheerleaders arent going to listen anyway. Discussing sweeteners is like trying to talk someone out of their favorite cult and the responses tend to be exactly what one would expect from the average passive aggressive millennial.
The problem is that the “its natural” crowd insisted that it get put in everything and then started demanding that everyone else eat it because “its safe” and if you dont want to then “youre a conspiracy theorist.” Of course so was aspartame and sucralose until it wasnt. Just recently another article on the problems with most alternative sweeteners came out and we got the same false replies from the same stock owners that “never heard of this before.” We’ve been having these conversations around here for 20+ years on some of these things and the same regulars are still claiming that their half a dozen diet cokes a day or whatever their vice is would be perfectly safe so the “new and entirely unheard of” research should be disregarded until like dozens of other toxic food additives that we allow it just becomes so common that it fades into the background of the toxic burden the average American carries. There is research suggesting that saccharin may be safer than some of these but still the cultists rally behind their favorite because of their brand loyalty to the product that uses a particular one.
“Well, atchwoolly...”
Nope, dont want to hear it. I dont want or need a similar 20+ year conversation with any of these people on why erythritol is the bestest because erythritol cultists have already shown themselves to be the same as the others.
“Well, Im sorry you feel that way but we will have to agree to disagree because Im right. Its natural...”
So is arsenic. I would invite all of the cultists to use some of that and stop contaminating my food.
