Informed artificial sweetener is not food and throws the body into a variety
of forms of shock
you are so much better off eating white sugar ( even though its not a great
thing to eat ) than any artificial sweetener.

I have just been sent the following by my sister. Can it be for real - do
any of you have an informed opinion about this stuff or should I assume that
it is a sbtle plug for the sugar industry?
