What is it about Anti-Sugar campaigners and their pushing for Artificial Sweeteners that are far worse than sugar?

@curiosi I don't think it will lead to big pharma.

@chrisCA right, so people are addicted to baked potatoes lol, sugar is actually not unhealthy, and I have yet to find a reliable source that states it is addictive.

And get this, artificial sugars are very unhealthy. A low fat diet is not that great. Fats (monounsaturated and poly unsaturated fats) are very essential for the body especially for cells to make membranes and use as an energy source or store energy. Same with cholesterol. Some cholesterol is essential for a person if you eat the correct type. HDL (high density lipoproteins) is the good type of cholesterol that takes plaque off of blood vessels.

Well depends on which ones, there's certain sweeteners like Xylitol which is actually good for teeth because it doesn't turn into acid and doesn't raise blood sugar so it's good for diabetics.

@SatanBurger it is not artificial however and is derived from plants.

@PikachuTrainer Ah yeah true. I don't know I call everything artificial these days.

@chrisCA a lot of anti-sugar campaigners in Britain are, and Sugar itself is not unhealthy.

@PikachuTrainer Not unhealthy? Oh really. 😏

@chrisCA yes really, and it has plenty of uses.
They're ignorant. There's plant of natural sugar alternatives if you look for them.

I’ve been using monkfruit sweeteners. Supposedly they’re natural and less is required to sweeten foods. I liked sucralose but I’ve heard mixed reports about it. I don’t do white sugar anymore because it runs my numbers through the roof.
