“There is no doubt these things aren’t good for you.. but these have been around for decades, nothing has significantly changed in the last 2 years around them...”
I would say that with natural sweeteners Stevia and Monk Fruit these “deadly” artifice sweeteners have been on the decline before covid. These “experts” have no shame.
Stevia indeed is an endocrine disruptor and has other issues with it as well.. Can’t speak to monk fruit, but Stevia is not “healthy” for you.
No these compounds aren’t causing these deaths... we all know what’s causing these deaths in the last 2 years, the thing we forced on people globally to take or else... but we can’t say that.
No these artificial sweeteners are not causing these deaths, but they are responsible for a lot of health issues in the general population due to their use... they are more subtle and chronic issues.
Just like excessive sugar over your lifetime causes insulin resistance that then leads to all sorts of chronic health problems, so too does ingesting these compounds over long periods of time.
