Yes!!! Down with corn syrup. Up with monk fruit (which I just wrote about).

Wow… really informative. Unfortunately in a capitalist economy those who make the most money aren’t too keen on caring what their product does to the average person. My supposition is they know full well how harmful their products are. And the most harmful stuff is of course the cheapest to purchase. It’s a shame globally we’ve decided on money over people which is a gross error. I sincerely hope we will force the change back to truly nutritious food. ❤️

Real tea does not even need to be sweet but if you're going to spend money on something to make your tea sweet, at least spend it on something that won't hurt your health....I mean, it just makes sense.

This is true. I use a little sugar or honey at home, depending on the tea. Some teas I don’t use any. But in manufacturing bottled tea, something has to counter the tartness of the low pH — which is required for safe bottling without using preservatives. Tea is not naturally acidic enough by itself.
