What I don’t get is why it took them decades to figure this out. Why have they been giving us sugar substitutes without understanding what they have been doing to us? Why were these approved for use in the first place?
If your entire argument is “food industry bad”, that’s not very convincing. Do you somehow produce everything you eat yourself? Do you make your own clothes too, from resources you collected yourself? Did you collect the resources to make the device you post on yourself and put them together?
I do my best to purchase the most sustainable and quality versions of any given offering I can. I’ll also readily acknowledge the harms and where we do and don’t have choices
But I’m not sure how you jumped from the notion that the industries behind artificial sweeteners, who we already know are verifiably bad and overtly acting against the interests of public health to… you didn’t make your own clothes so artificial sweeteners are actually safe and awesome 🤪
Like the other dude said, if your only argument is “OMG, everybody knows that corporations are evil, they must be selling poison”, that doesn’t rise to the level of obvious.
It’s like saying that since the US federal government in the 60s was racist and transphobic, they must have faked the moon landing.
If it were “obvious” that a sugar substitute was dangerous, the sugar companies would have trumpeted that as loudly as they could.
I never said artificial sweeteners are safe and awesome, don’t put words in my mouth. What I said was that if your argument is “food industry bad therefore sweeteners bad”, you can’t trust and buy absolutely anything from any industry.
