Ahh, no. Its not 1970 and we arent talking about TAB. This crap is snuck into damned near everything for everyone.
Young people all over are drinking this garbage because their idiot parents told them its safer and will help them avoid diabetes. Little toddlers have no choice and dont know any better but are regularly drinking this stuff because companies we knew (Little Hugs, Tang, etc) as kids have changed the ingredients we had for for a cocktail of manmade garbage that contains two or three of these in the same product.
Ive been watching labels and avoiding this stuff since it came out but most people dont realize where it has been added in products they trusted. That chewing gum youve always used? Yup, its in there now. “Healthy” juices? Yup, full of it. Those fruit cups that are soooo good for your kids? Yup, there too. How about some light yogurt? Whipped sweetener. Speaking of sweetener, that “creamer” so many of you use in your coffee? Many of those are full of it too especially the flavored ones. You should have stuck with that evil racist dairy.
Tab goes back father than the 1970's. My Spinster Aunts were drinking TAB in the early 1960's and back then it had cyclamates where were banned before the 1970's. I hated the taste back then and actually love it now. I wish they hadn't discontinued it again.
Your complaint seems to be with permissive parents that don't watch what they give their children.
I have used Splenda many years and started including Stevia which gives a smoother taste than either one by itself.
I was diagnosed as diabetic at least seventeen years ago and right then I made myself a promise to never purchase anything with more than six grams of sugar per serving. For example I just bought Nabisco Social Tea biscuits that are labeled as 7 grams of sugar per a seven cookie serving. I can eat six cookies and be satisfied with no problem. & I drink diet cola with sucralose with no problem.
What evil racist dairy? Are you confusing me with someone else?
