It comes up a lot. The question about artificial sweeteners. Are they good or bad? Truthfully, I don't know. The better question to ask is does anyone need to use them? Maybe. Maybe not. The answer for you will probably not be the answer for everyone. You gotta be able to answer for yourself.
I am not a fan of fake sweeteners for a variety of reasons. The short list would include bad taste, bad taste, and bad taste. The longer list would include stomach aches, can't really cook with them....well, you can, but it's disgusting.....and general suspicion of artificial anything. Even Splenda and Stevia.
That being said, my gym got a huge box of "Splenda with fiber" samples. Gross. Just another example of the American diet being so bad that companies are slipping in fiber with the enormous amounts of sweeteners we are consuming. I will hand it to Splenda, though. They have done an excellent job worming their way into our food supply (displacing Nutra Sweet) as well as getting their little yellow packets on the restaurant tables (displacing Nutra Sweet AGAIN).
Now the gym doesn't ask for these samples, they just get them. SOOOOO.......the other night, Mezger was mentioning the samples (trying to get rid of them) and he stopped mid-sentence and said, "....in fact, just throw that crap out. I hate those sweeteners........" Right on Rudog message. Just say it like it is.
Go, Mezger!
