This marketing ploy is one of the cleverest, as well as being one of the most dangerous. Even worse than regular sugar-sweetened foods and beverages, diet foods and sodas contain some of the worst ingredients, including trans-fats, high levels of sodium, high amounts of artificial flavors and colors, and aspartame. The European Food Safety Authority did a recent review of more than 20 separate research studies, and they found aspartame causes a wide range of chronic health problems, including birth defects and cancer.
Other types of artificial sweeteners, including sucralose (Splenda) and saccharin, have also been shown in numerous studies to be connected with a higher risk of cancer and reproductive problems in humans and animals. The FDA has received more than 10,000 complaints about aspartame, and there are more than 91 documented body systems that have been directly affected by the consumption of this artificial sweetener.

Until this country starts to seriously ban GMOs and many of the chemicals used to produce our foods unnaturally, the cost of safe and GMO free foods will continue to rise and move further away from what is considered affordable to many of this country’s folks. $1.50 per lemon, $1.75 per avocado? Rediculous

My lemons are up to $2.00 & avacados $3.00. Anyway, our soil we grow all our food in, is not only contaminated but so nutritionally deficient, those lemons and all our foods, aren’t as healthy as we think. Sad!
