DeleteAh yes, you know if you research it, you will find that most of these, especially "sweet n low" were discovered to be detrimental to one's health a long time ago. However, in the case of sweet n low, it was one of those that they "told" us were really bad, then they backpeddled in a few years and told us that it is only bad for us in high amounts...I say shame on them...I would say there is enough evidence to steer clear of all the artificial sugars but especilly sweet n low!
Oh my gosh, n sweet n low is my go to sugar! what terrible news, I could have been enjoying real sugar all along. thanks for doing all the foot work that helps us be healthy hisdaughter!
