    No, but the ignorance of blindly believing the TV (when it says that aspartame and sugar-rich fruit juices are healthy beverage options for kids) sure is.

      I think that was just the 90s. “Health food stores” were like 90% vitamins/supplements and 10% terrible bread and bulk bins of brewers yeast and brown rice.

      My family went to the heath food store a lot, voted blue and marched against nestle and the gulf war. And we drank a lot of concentrated orange juice.

      We thought juice was heathy 🤷‍♀️

        Nothing, at best there’s some iffy studies that inconclusively say it might be, possibly a carcinogen.

        Maybe…

        studies kept going back and forth how its a potential carcinogen. Likewise with stevia too, i suspect its a way to discourage stevia use and go on aspartame related drinks.
