I personally have taken the stance that there is negative campaigning going on from both sides, dirtying the science. This is why you keep seeing people cry out that the sweeteners cause cancer - it's one of those easy, believable, fear-inducing lies that is also difficult to either prove or dismiss. The best words I have to say in favor of artificial sweeteners are - you aren't seeing high-profile lawsuits claiming health damages. Lots of FUD, no money. On the other hand, real sugar has a few easily discovered examples, generally derived from the sugar being used in products with "nutritious" or "healthy" labelling: http://www.inquisitr.com/226431/nutella-settles-lawsuit-for-... http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-204_162-2926923.html |
