Basically, modern humans overindulge in sweeteners and should cut back drastically.
“Still metabolized by the liver, still probably not good for you in high amounts. Basically, modern humans overindulge in sweeteners and should cut back drastically.”
Of course, humans, especially in an FDA/Dept of Agriculture controlled society such as we have here in the USA, SWEET is the name of the game. And cola’s are it...
I recommend stevia extract for those who have to have SWEET. In much moderation. Personally I do not use sugar to sweeten tea or coffee, and I avoid soft drinks. I also recommend honey and maple syrup for natural sweeteners.
