Sweeteners, et al....

 

How do you have the entire population of a planet slowly, willingly poison itself, and enjoy doing it ???

 

Make it tasty, addictive, and innocuous.... give it fifty different names, and put it in just about everything.

 

I promised myself I would not venture into a personal tirade on this blog, but this subject just keeps coming up everywhere I turn... and so few people really get it, even those that should know better....

 

Sugar, in almost all its forms, and so-called "non-nutritive" sweeteners are, for the most part, detrimental to human health.

 

Contrary to popular opinion, it makes little or no difference if it is white sugar, brown sugar, honey, agave, maple syrup, or any other form of sweetener, with the lone exception of xylitol, manuka* honey, stevia, and sodium saccharin for "artificial" sweeteners. EVERYTHING else is a deceptively slow, eventually toxic substance.
