"Most adults only need to eat around 2,000-2,600 calories a day. This is a problem for businesses that want to achieve constant growth. Sweeteners were a way round this – a means by which the multinationals could encourage us to buy more food and drink than we needed, without going over our daily calorie limits." (#Capitalism!)
Don't worry about sweeteners giving us cancer. Worry about them giving children a "sweet palate" and fucking with our gut biomes & causing diabetes.
Oh btw did you know that saccharin is a fossil fuel byproduct?
