Get ready for an earful about the health risks of Diet Coke, Trident gum, Equal, and other sugar-free items.

    I don’t think you can put “the” before WHO unless Roger Daltrey approves it.

    I worry about a lot of the additives used today. Some products will say “no sugar added” but will include some artificial sweetener that you only see in the fine print.

      I worry about the “natural” sugar alternatives. We all know that aspartame is safe, it’s been researched about as extensively as it can be. It only starts to be a concern when you’re drinking 2 dozen diets sodas daily.

      But people give “natural” a pass for some reason.

        Natural is always good, my cereal has natural uranium for a spicy natural alternative to sugar. It’s totally safe.

          So then buy unsweetened tea. We already have a term for things that aren’t sweet.

          https://www.amazon.com/Pure-Leaf-Unsweetened-Brewed-Calories/dp/B015Z6WJDY/

          I seriously don’t understand why you want the “no sugar added” label to have factually incorrect requirements.
